Behind-the-paywall take on Bing

Our research note on the launch of Bing shipped last week. It’s got good points, one of which is that without the success of Bing, this could be the end of the line for Microsoft’s natively developed MSN. I can’t help wondering how many times one might have said that before, though. Probably roughly the same number of times one might have predicted the rise of the next Yahoo-, AltaVista- or Google-killer.
