How can I be biased against Bing!?

The re-directions to Bing, forced default search engine, click a link in a Microsoft program and it will take you to a bing search, the god awful adverts, It makes me want to RAGE! 

I don't understand...you can choose default search engine in IE8 and IE9. Doesn't have to be Bing. Which program forces bing on you?

Internet explorer, no matter how many times I changed the default search, it always changed back to Bing after restarting Internet Explorer, so now I use Google chrome.

Also, in the MSN news feed, it will say "latest article: Osama Bin Laden is dead", I click it and it takes me straight into a Bing search...

Also, my new computers at school run a special version of Windows designed for schools, and the default search engine is convinently locked as Bing.

I don't think I need to mention the adverts, adverts already piss me off a tonne, the Bing adverts make me contemplate suicide.

And the most irritating thing is, was all this really necessary? Microsoft already make plenty of products, why do they need to put another one into an oversaturated market? The XBOX 360 was a smart move since SEGA was out of the picture, but crap like Bing and Zune really tarnish Microsoft's brand.
