I’m glad they didn’t acquire it. I don’t need one more corporation collecting every ounce of data they can on me to sell to advertisers.
Microsoft: “Hey Apple, wanna buy some of our stuff?”
Apple: “Sure. What’re you sellin’? Xbox? O365? Exchange?”
Ms: “No No. Bing!”
Ap: “…bing?”
Ms: “Bing! Our search eng-“
Ap: “-Not interested.”
Ms: “C’mon! We’ll throw in uh uh- Teams!”
Ap: “VERY NOT INTERESTED!”
You are. Even MS themselves don’t use it (they use Slack) which tells you just how bad it is

So uhhhhhhh… they gonna buy it or
Nah from the articles it’s more like Microsoft tried to sell Bing to Apple and Apple wasn’t interested
