Microsoft Bing: Why Bother?

Another news response, this time regarding Microsoft's new search engine Bing:

Microsoft revolutionized PC's for the consumer market back in the mid-90's. They did so with Windows OS and MS Word. Microsoft effectively started what we now call the "digital era." We should thank them for that.

However, since then, they have disregarded web standards in their newest release of Internet Explorer 8 and any time they see an opportunity to do so, they reset IE to be Windows users' default browser (attempting to boot out Firefox and other competitors). They have proven that they cannot be trusted on the web, and should refocus their efforts on their Operating System (because Vista was epic fail) before they lose the majority market share on that, too (enter Apple & others' rising market presence).
