Also, I have the impression that a few microsoft products (MSN, live etc) will automatically change other browser's search engine to Bing. My girlfriend told me her "google changed" after installing MSN.

But maybe it was something else, as she's doesn't exactly knows what she's doing. Can anyone confirm that?

This happens with a lot of software, unfortunately. On the side, I do computer repair (and charge for it). I'd say about 30% of my calls are "my Google changed to Ask!" after installing FoxIt or Digsby etc.

I was hoping that charging people money would lead them to finding their own solutions for trivial problems, but instead it has just padded my beer fund. C'est la vie.

I believe there is often a check box asking if you want to change you default search engine to Bing, and its checked by default, so yes she might be right.
