I'm not surprised about the political climate at Bing. I never envisioned Microsoft as a good place to work.
I am a bit surprised aboot the fact that people are so hooked to Google's logo and prefer the Bing results as long as they show Google's logo beside.

Bing is losing nearly a $1 billion a quarter, with no sign of letting up. (YEOW!!)
Microsoft has lost $5.5 billion on Bing since the search service launched in June 2009, but the company's search losses actually pre-date that. In fact, the software giant has never made money in its online services division. Since Microsoft began breaking out that unit's finances in 2007, the company has lost a total of $9 billion.

I wonder what share they'd need of the market to break even, though apparently they spend vast amounts on marketing.
Even a world with 80% google, 20% otherwise would be better than of late, worldwide that is.
