Bing Reality Log

Category:Google Category:Bing Category:Microsoft Category:Search 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.
