I think the two versions are both fairly honest, though, and wouldn't be if reversed. Microsoft has had an inferior search project for a long time and is playing catch-up with Google. Apple simply took a long time getting the device to market, but when they did, it was completely game-changing.

Their implementation of multitasking, to which that sentence was referring, still seems to be inferior. Or let's say different, for diplomacy - yet they make it sound as if they are ahead.
Oh, I thought it was the iPad. Misremembered. At any rate, Apple really did wait to release their implementation. They didn't have inferior multitasking for years. They could have stuck in a very poor implementation to begin with (the OS has always supported it), but they did indeed wait on it.
All I am saying is that Bing could improve their marketing by rephrasing certain things.
