Seriously, if Bing would take the gloves off and just run

Agreed, but MS has always been slow on the draw when it comes to PR. Look at how Apple has beaten them up and rarely if ever do they come back with anything memorable. They need to hit G quick & hard on this privacy issue, but to date, there's no indication they intend to go there (none that I've seen at least). But then again, maybe MS is waiting for Super Bowl Sunday -- that was the moment Apple launched its own full-frontal attack 25 years ago, and people still talk about it.
