Is Bing really a big source of revenue for them though? I thought something like 90% of their profit was Windows and Office.

Either way, good point in terms of promoting their own search engine, but unless it's a significant source of profit then again I say, what is the point?

Bing will never be a significant source of revenue if it has no users. Like it or not, browser defaults drive market share.

Besides, what's wrong with a large company trying to diversify streams of income?

Nothing's wrong with that in itself.

However, it can have undesired negative side-effects.
