Here's the problem. Even if Bing is close, what motivation do I have to switch? Unless the results are OVERWHELMINGLY in Bing's favor (clearly not from anecdotal evidence in this thread) what reason is there to switch?

I switched because of the Rewards. Gotten $50 in Amazon GC from using Bing the last year. I can earn $5 per month easy by just doing what I normally do.
yeah, i'm not using IE for $5 a month.
Google - 4
Bing - 1
tbh, it was hard to tell the difference between the two so I just picked from which contents look more interesting and Google won. The only time Bing won was when I searched for the name of a porn actor. Bing completely sucks at foreign language contents. In this case, I was using Japanese language.

Google for 3, Bing for 2. And honestly, I should've marked one of the Bings as a tie, since both sets of results were worthless.

Meh, searching random words is not really a good indicator. As someone who searches mainly with queries, the results are night and day.
I see what you mean. If you put in the names of pron stars, bing shows a small row of related videos which google does not. Neat feature. I wonder who at Microsoft decided to put that feature in.

As if I give a shit what they do. I have 600+ in microsoft points over the past two years from Bing Rewards. If Google wants to give me that much, I'll take it too. I'm easily bought.

No it doesn't.
For most normal searches the quality of the results if pretty close. That's where other factors come in, too.
I prefer bing's home page, bing's layout, bing's image search, bing's video search (for one it's not just youtube but more video-provider-agnostic).
Generally bing is preferable when it comes to how it ties into other services. Google just tries pushing google products. Microsoft tries to integrate more services it doesn't own, such as those video sites, facebook, twitter.
For me that's enough to make bing my primary search, with google being easily accessible, whenever a search result isn't good enough.
I also like rooting for the underdog as opposed to always supporting a monopoly (here in Germany google has like 96% market share).
You know what? I think Microsoft is using this as a massive research project. This must be giving them tons of data on why Google kicks their asses so badly in search results.
For example, one test I tried was putting a name of a movie and my postal code. Google gives me theatres playing the movie close to me and their timings as the first result (supremely awesome) while Bing gives me gibberish, sure Google wins on bingiton but MS is now gathering the information to figure out why.

I love how they tell you that bing is still better despite your preference.
I bet the * means: Blind comparisons test are done by the visually impaired, we only did better because of random chance.
Does for me too...

Redirects to bing.com here too. Germany, though.

Yea, Google has been doing stuff like this since it started. It's a good idea - it will show exactly how people use Google and why Bing comes up short.

and this is why Google is the best and will be for a long time to come.
It is now accessible only in US, for users outside the US it now redirects to bing.com...(don't ask me why, they should have at least added some sort of message)
