The things Bing will do for market share. I recall they even paid people to use it at one time. I wonder why they still continue to operate in China. They'll never be a factor in China, but are more than happy to bend over backwards to serve state sponsored results for their pittance percentage of search engine market share.

Probably to please stock owners - it is better to show 200 million active users, rather than 50 million active users from prime locations. I imagine Bing must have been crazy money wasting machine for MS so probably they do everything in their power to show MS management how "futuristic" is to look at them like on investment rather than liability.
