Doing a quick analysis of past precedents and a quick use of Bing.com it seems that Microsoft is going to be sued quickly. The links I clicked didn't take me to the content owner's website but kept me on the bing page. As we know the AP and WSJ just went after Yahoo and Google for linking to articles from their site, and those links actually took you too the AP or WSJ website. Bing seems like a decent search provider however, not linking to the content owner's site is begging to be sued for copyright infringement.
