I mean, it is highly likely that people searching for Chrome in the last few days since Google Chrome launched would be looking for Google Chrome and so, it makes sense that a search engine gives a high relevance to results pointing at Google Chrome. In my opinion, the fact that Live Search did not, suggests their search engine is falling short rather than Google's being biased.

My experience is that Live Search is pretty poor - you get the impression that they are totally re-engineering it - some of the discussions on various SEO sites suggest they are years behind Google. Perhaps that's why they have been so interested in Yahoo? Paul. Bill, I would be careful using the Live Search as a comparison.
