That's why I use Google, it gives me the results I want (and being a stupid lot, the masses usually are right - Google over 71% and Bing! less than 9% market share).

You look at their track record, and its hard to point to anything where Microsoft has been able to show 99.999% reliability. Windows? Danger? Bing? Hotmail? You can point to Amazon S3 going down, or Google Mail being out of commission for an hour or two... But I'd be surprised if Amazon's core site and Google's Search didn't have five or six 9's. It speaks to something either in the culture or management or software itself of Microsoft. Here’s a documented case of Microsoft’s big new product going down for a non-trivial amount of time.

It's not like every other site on the Internet (including Google) hasn't had downtime either. Grow up and stop being such a friggin' cry baby. Your an idiot, plain and simple.
