Microsoft is clingy. It’s implanted Internet Explorer as your default web browser for the longest time. And if you happen to use Microsoft Edge on a frequent basis, you’ll have found out how to switch your search engine: you have to go to the search engine site, then go into “Advanced Settings” and then choose from a list of possible (if implausible) search providers.
Very intuitive, indeed.

Microsoft’s Bing Rewards has reached a decent level of popularity on desktop browsers. By using its services, Bing awards you with credits that can later be used to redeem rewards in Amazon, Xbox, Skype, and other gift cards, and which even allow you to donate these credits to schools or charities as well. The only problem the service had is that it was only available on the desktop, or at least it was a problem until today.
Microsoft has just launched the service on iOS and Android, which will give you similar functionality to what you get on the desktop for now, but not [...]

Get the scoop on the features you'll find in the new Windows Phone 8 Bing apps suite.
We’ve seen how Microsoft has been working on significantly improving the experience of Bing on the browser. The process has taken them a while, but it’s clear that the service is significantly easier to use, and at the same time the results provided include more added value than many of its competitors. Obviously it was only a matter of time before this level of overhaul came to Windows Phone, and the changes just got detailed.

Bing has often put priority in making its experience better on platforms other than Microsoft's own. Will the same be true with Siri?
Microsoft has made a lot of noise recently with their “Scoogled” campaign, accusing Google of taking every bit of information they can get their hands on – your searches, your emails, your IM’s, etc and storing it and using it. They use it to give you ads; they use it to track your interests; they use it to “turn you into the product”, to use the accepted phrase of the day.
