As you can clearly see for yourself, Microsoft is not as interested in acquiring market share for Bing. Not as much as to outbid Google's contracts with Firefox and Apple to be the default. Bing is clearly a second thought for Microsoft even tho it's big. That's probably because they wouldn't get the same bang for their buck anyway. They have far less advertisers on board. Anyway, according to Microsoft, they own 33% of the US market. That is quite the market share. Especially once you consider it has mostly been acquired thru sneaky toolbar installations and IE.
- gscott 7y agoMicrosoft is solving their biggest problem by switching IE to Chromium. Right now everyone uses IE to download Firefox or Chrome. But now that IE will be Chrome they are hoping that enough people will not switch their browser and will start using the defaults (bing, outlook, etc). It's genius. In the past IE had the dominate browser it is not impossible that they can claw back some of that market share.
