That article marks an important change in IE9: it no longer asks what search engine you want to use on first run (aka a new install or a new computer, not a browser upgrade), it defaults to bing without asking. I think that's just unfortunate, though, and not a likely explanation of any change in search market share (IE9 has only been out for a month, after all).
