Will Google pay $1 billion to keep Bing from being the default iOS search engine?

Microsoft and Windows Phone could be a threat to Apple and the iPhone.....why would you use their search engine?
I know Google owns Android, but they are already established and competitive.....Microsoft isn't. So wouldn't it be in Apple's best interests to have the least amount of competitors?

There are much more factors than that though e.g. Apple desperately want MS Office to be available for the iPad, so MS could use this as a bargaining tool.

OT: I hope MS pays up and Bing becomes the default iOS search engine. I already use Bing as the search engine on my iPhone 5

Lol where did you hear that apple desperately want Office for Ipad? Last I checked microsoft was trying to get a better cut than the usual 30 percent and Apple simply said no. If they desperately wanted MS to release Office they'd say allright.
