I agree that engadget doesn't state its the same user...but the way my coleague explained it, it had to be the same user.

Google does to the same thing with its toolbar...infact, Google went 1 step further and had a suppsed "glitch" where the user wasn't able to turn off data mining even after disabling it in the toolbar.

For Bing to do this, you have to turn suggested sites feature on...enabling the toolbar to collect data and give you suggestions based on past browsing.

As far as using Bing VS google for testing, here is a fun way to do it... http://www.bing-vs-google.com/

Ahhh, that is fun! Now to think of obscure search terms!
