- The Bing Cashback program (paying end users cash for using Bing).
- A reported payment of $550 million USD to Verizon to use Bing on its
Blackberry and foreclose use of other "decision" engines.
- Reported payments to News Corp to use Bing and not use Google.
- A reported $30 million payment to Twitter to use Bing.
- A deal with Yahoo for that company to use Bing as its search.
It adds up.
And yet ... still, practically nobody uses it.
Microsoft, have you ever thought, just for a second or two, about WHY your brand
is disfavored by so many people? Could it have anything to do with, oh, I don't
know, maybe your conduct?
If so, mightn't you think perhaps about improving that conduct?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It's actually about $16 billion I believe. Business Insider has a lot of fun with this one every
quarter.
This is all about a grudge Steve Ballmer has against Google. It's a
horrible waste, and it's getting nowhere. Imagine what useful things could be
done with that kind of money. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
