<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>It just raises too many
questions.. why would Canonical want any Bing-tainted money? What did Bing get
in return?<br>
<br>
You could start at the basic superstition level and just assume its a money
deal.<br>
<br>
Or you could go to the extreme and say Canonical is now in bed with Microsoft
and sold its soul for the right price, allowing vital info to be gathered from
its users and given to M$ to begin the Linux extermination.<br>
<br>
It just doesn't have a good taste, that's all.<br>
