Search Provider Gone Loopy

I am wondering if any one else is having the same funny problem I am, I
perform a search via Windows Live search and get a search page associated
with Bin beta, what ever that is, I have set Windows Live search as default
but it still happens.

What is going on here.

 

That's the new version of LiveSearch

Live Search will eventually be replaced by Bing, which is currently in
beta. http://www.bing.com

I just typed 'HP destructive restore' into a Bing search. For some reason,
the official HP support page is fifth in line. I would have thought that it
would be the definitive site..

It shows up 3rd on my PC. It's 4th on Google and 1st on Yahoo. Maybe they
should have bought Yahoo. As long as the results I want are on the 1st page
I don't get too concerned about the exact ranking, unless it's my site of
course

Funnier: Search for something like "vista bug" - you get sponsored
adverts for Orkin Pest Control.

Me thinks their algorithm needs some work
