The single thing Google did right when they first came out was a clean UI with a search bar on an uncluttered page.

At the time the competitors had search pages cluttered with ads and news. It was so bad you couldn't think.

If Microsoft makes their search nice to look at them it's going to get many more users

DuckDuckGo and Kagi managed to figure this out. Bing is the odd one out.

This is a search engine showing open evidence of skewing results away from true for their own motivations. Slightly comic when it is Microsoft doing it to Google but if they do this so blatantly how else are they more subtly redirecting our searches towards biased or even false results that benefit them and misinform the user.

Honestly, that's actually smart and nobody is hurt here. Google by now is as shit as Bing, so there's nothing wrong with using B instead of G. Let them downvotes come :)

Is Google really as shit as Bing? I had to Ask Jeeves to confirm that.

Honestly G might be worse than B at this point

I see this as an action intended to trick users.
