It's a bit hard to call any statement of the form "X could happen" a lie unless there's some physical law preventing X from happening.

You're definitely right, and I don't agree with the author regarding the idea that Eric was outright lying. I just don't think the search engine market has been very volatile lately. As others noted, Bing's increasing market share comes largely from cannibalizing its partner's market share (Yahoo).

I just don't see Google in position to lose much more share to Bing is all.
