Chances are that you've already heard of and even visited Bing, Microsoft's new search offering
launched earlier in June, replacing the Live search of yesterday. It's
new, shiny, and has pretty pictures, but does it really have much
effect on the market? There have been those headlines claiming it's
"taken a bite out of Google," but, looking
at the statistics, it hasn't really affected the search industry
at all.

I have a friend who works at google, and he laughed at me when I asked what they thought of bing as competition. It is just another revision of live search, which isn't awful, but not as good as google. Their competitive advantage is to add a whole bunch of extra crap to search results, which is the exact opposite of the strategy google employed to get it where it is now.
Live Search (now bing), is just the latest chapter in the utterly baffling strategy microsoft has employed in regards to web properties.
