You don't win by being nearly as good as your competitor though.

  Oh come on, it's day 1... I can't say Bing will gain traction or not. But, at the very least, on day one, it's the 2nd best search engine available.

    The search results seem like pretty much the same as they have been for years. This is just a rebranding and some UI fluff as far as I can see. So yeah, it's day 1 for the new UI, but I was talking about quality of search results.

  Microsoft has done exactly this several times. They won through superior business models, which made nearly as good better for their purposes. (Unless, of course, you include the business model as part of being better than the competition, in which case your statement is trivially true.) I don't know if Microsoft has ideas for beating Google in the business model arena, but I wouldn't put it past them.
