Just as we told you a few days ago, Microsoft officially introduced the new Bing Desktop 1.2, bringing not only several bug fixes, but also important new features aimed at all Windows users.

The company has now detailed the changes it made to the new version, explaining that Bing Desktop is now focused a lot more on the social side of the search engine.

Bing Desktop 1.2 thus comes with Facebook integration, so you can check the news feed and friends’ photos without the need for a browser.

In addition, it provides faster access to Bing, which means that it packs a new option that lets you search directly from the Windows taskbar.

Last but not least, Bing Desktop 1.2 packs new customization options to control your search history, choose the homepage image you wish to use as desktop wallpapers and more.
