Read the post before you get your knickers in a twist. The purpose of this change is so a special type of business client can allow their employees to search not just the web, but also their company’s internal resources.

Considering that most businesses provide their employees with company laptops, this isn’t something that is going to affect consumers.

If I'm that special type of business client that is actually using Microsoft Search, cool, maybe I want an easy option to change the default engine. But that should be opt-in. Because Microsoft Search is also opt-in. They are deploying this to all O365 customers, regardless.

According to the article, it's only the "ProPlus" version of Office 365.

For now ;-)

No they aren’t, read the post. It’s for ProPlus subscribers only, which is a plan that includes Microsoft search.
Pro plus is pretty much every business and university. It’s not like you buy pro plus for the amazing Bing integrations.
For that special kind of business that can’t use group policy to set the search engine, surely.
