Microsoft is also using the moment to expand its Give with Bing program. You can accrue Microsoft Rewards points by doing things like playing Xbox games and searching with Bing, which you can later redeem for rewards, which includes donations to nonprofit organizations. Give with Bing has now expanded to include 1.4 million organizations, and Microsoft will match points donated to the organizations through the end of the year. It\u2019s also expanding Give with Bing to more countries.<\/p>\n

In case you didn\u2019t know it, you can access your Bing dashboard here<\/a>. You can control who your Microsoft points benefit, and you\u2019ll also see more ways to earn points. You select your organization of choice, then toggle on \u201cGive Mode,\u201d which automatically donates points you accrue searching through Bing to that organization. If you still want to use your points to, say get an Xbox Game Pass membership, you can do so with points you earn in other ways. It\u2019s not a bad deal, all things considered.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a little ironic that this news comes out just as a new Windows update<\/a> allows you to disable Bing permanently, so you\u2019ll only see local files on your computer when you use the search option. Still, it makes sense that Microsoft\u2018s incentivizing those who do use Bing, and nonprofit donation is certainly not a bad incentive.<\/p>\n
While Microsoft didn\u2019t acknowledge it, the new name appears to come with a new logo. You can see it in the profile picture of the official Twitter account. It looks very similar to the original logo, albeit with its edges softened and its colored blued up to match the rest of the new Windows icons<\/a>.<\/p>\n
