I'll be honest, I have not been really been following this thread.
Today, however, I noticed that if a person typed an incorrect web
site address or forgot the ".com" ".org" etc at the end Bing was
used to help them find the correct site. I do not find this in and
of itself bad. However, if these are considered hits on Bing it is
at best misleading. It seems in most of the cases I witnessed it
was a typo not a true search and Bing would not have been the
search engine chosen if it was. Is this what was meant by the title
of this thread?
I have read that this is considered to be a bad thing as it opens
users to cross-site scripting attacks.

I see M$ would rather goose Bing's numbers than keep its customers
safe. A typical, dangerous M$ dirty trick.
