Google Webmaster Tools gets an UI and minor functionality upgrade, a nice touch in series of interface improvements which started appearing last year.
Probably the most exciting two new functions are:
1) Download the chart data
2) Show n Rows
And now a real bonus!
My requests have been heard [1] and the sorting of search queries by position now works as it should and not the way it used to.
Thank you Google!
PS: One small bug. When you click on “Author Stats” in the Labs section it wipes out most of the other options from the main menu.

I use Google webmaster tool and I never used the Bing one. I’m not sure that the results would reflect the big market performance since Bing has a small part of it.songs
