Where it does have a chance however is the "new" users. If it can get as much as possible from that, it will have a higher growth rate than Google. But this takes time ...
By the way, what will make YOU switch SEs?

Good points, bobitza.
I'm generally a loyal consumer, all things being equal. But if Bing, or any other SE, can provide me with better results in my searches, I'm open to switching. Since I'm pretty comfortable with Google now, it'd take some noticeable differences to get me to move, though.
