For example, sites that have almost all their pages indexed in Google have barely 20% indexed in Bing. Therefore Bing is not seeing most of the web. I wish Microsoft would sort this out - they have millions at their disposal and the brightest people working for them.

Hah! Ask Joe Schmoe on the street 'what is Bing?' 99.9% won't know what you are talking about. Now ask them if they know what 'google' is. 'google' is now a verb - that should tell you something. Scared - yeah, right. Google scared of Bing?
