I think you were a bit dismissive about Microsoft's active role in forcing Bing's usage. It's public knowledge that Microsoft has resorted to things like offering consumers monetary incentives/credits to use Bing and even the glaringly obvious facts about MS buying Yahoo's search or their partnership with Facebook were left out of the discussion. Google used the now 'old school' way to increase it's adoption, what used to be true 'fair market' capitalism -- they brought out a better product that beat out its competition. Microsoft however tried and failed when they rebranded their Search to Bing, and then fell back to just throwing money at the problem.
