This would be like filing an Anti-Trust case against Ford when they started using the assembly line.

Google is still simply a better search engine, bing is still sucks, better than nothing, but standing on it's own merits bing still is not very good.

What is annoying about this report "micro$oft & Expedia" both complained of the practice... Well both are essentially the same company in my mind. For me this is a thinly veiled complaint by micro$oft it self, remember Expedia spun off as a separate product from inside micro$oft.
