It's not spectacular - but (to me anyway) it communicates a cutesy friendliness - the squiggly fonts and child-like primary colors gives a sense of invitation to poke and pry at the system's abilities, and also conveys a sense of wonder.

The bing logo, on the other hand... the font is poorly chosen, IMHO the kerning is all wrong, it feels like something one would whip up in 10 minutes in Paint, not a professional logo. Furthermore, the choices of font gives me the feeling that they're trying to position this thing as hip and cool (hence the bistro comment), where the system is, as of yet, deserving of none such accolades.
