Since 2009, Microsoft has lost $5.5 billion on Bing and is losing $1 billion every quarter.
How is this even possible and how is buying Yahoo going to plug the holes? Bing search is horrible and their adcenter product is even worse.

Yes i'm sure someone is now scrambling to find some edge case where Google is better, but you can do the same thing with Bing, and frankly all search engines have issues somewhere. I use a few search engines which have their own index such as DDG, Gigablast and Blekko.
I really find it amazing that people aren't cheering on some competition in the space. If Bing folded we would only have 3 players with their own index (that im aware of).
Purely subjective but I find Bings results page much clearer then Googles these days.
Regarding quality of results though, wasn't Google accusing Bing of directly copying search results somehow?
Volume.
