The fact that a full 42% of their traffic is originating from MSFT, and they’re still investing tens of millions in advertising, AND they have Yahoo wrapped up makes their relative gains look PATHETIC.
MSN is the default start-page in IE8 and that is being whittled away due to the anti-trust.
In the past 6 months that more and more of the links on the homepage link directly back to BING search results.
From a UI perspective, this is not ideal and to see such low gain #s despite these efforts is eye opening about google's dominance.
