Wait, what?  You're saying that Bing doesn't have a search of it's own?  And 
that Google is running behind it?  Jees.  Never thought that possible.

personally, I can't stand Bing. Why? You may ask? Well it seems that sense I am 
set with google as home page. When going to any Microsoft or site affiliated 
with them. I always get my home page changed to Bing. Now if they want me to 
use it quit trying to force it on me.
I don't like spyware and it is becoming the top bug in high jacking browsers. 
So if Bing is any relation to there software. i don't give it much credit sense 
google is its back door search.
