Bill Gates has just finished up his first-ever reddit AMA, answering users’ questions for just under one hour. Among the topics of discussion included Microsoft, coding, his wealth, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, vaccines, and yes, Bing.

Replying to question “Do you guys really use Bing? I mean seriously?” Gates had this to say:

Seriously Bing is the better product at this point. Try the challenge. I am biased but the work to make Bing better has been amazing.

So there you have it, folks. Bill Gates thinks you should take the Bing challenge.

Among the other interest answers given by Gates…

What emerging technology today do you think will cause another big stir for the average consumer in the same way that the home computer did years ago?
