Microsoft has announced its new chat-powered?Bing?search engine.

"The new?Bing?can answer questions people pose in natural language prompts. It can create travel itineraries and it can translate those itineraries into emails that you send your family. It can compile a list that compares prices of products, such as vacuum cleaners. You can sign up at?bing.com?to try it, and the company says it will roll out the new?Bing?to millions of people in the coming weeks."?- The Wall Street Journal
