Bing Reality Log
From Boycott Novell
Bing search -- much like MSN and Live -- relied on PR, especially upon arrival. News sites were even sponsored to promote it (market budget estimated at $100 million) and the engine was tweaked such that it discriminates against Microsoft's competition.
Bing failed to gain traction and here is chronological, incomplete coverage of the subject.
