Pros:
Demonstrated a functional, if somewhat modest, chat-enabled Bing that integrates search and AI.

Has a broad business ecosystem, from Windows to Azure, minimizing reliance on search revenue alone.
Cons:
- The Bing demo felt somewhat tentative, slow, and limited compared to Google's offerings.
