Bing isn't a new search engine afaik, it's just the third or fourth rebranding of the MS search engine as the headless chickens at ms run desperatley round in circles wondering what on earth they are going to do.
Anyway to answer the question. Yes, No. Well, no insomuch that I haven't got any results though it that I haven't got though google, but maybe some people search for things that bing is better at finding.

I find the different results it provides to be a mixed bag, half the time ok/better, half the time worse.

have a look at blindsearch
You can try a few queries blind to yahoo, google, and bing and then discover which results you prefer

interesting that I've been using google for the past few years yet yahoo (and bing) often bring me 'better' results in my blind search tests
