I suspect that what you are experiencing is the way Bing engines work - that it is a due to the heuristics of the search engine and the behavior of other searches that has been used not so much that Microsoft is biased towards one product more than the other. So, if anything, your experience might be an indication of the behavior of the masses. Then again, perhaps this is proving your point, since the behavior of the masses, one might argue, can be traced back directly or indirectly to the behavior of the publisher.

Double the price and change the name twice - that is sure way for Microsoft to kill its investment.
Maybe they could start Project Blue where all the product lines are confused and the solution centers all feel the blues.

Hi Rashed,
I didn’t read this blog until I already posted by own blog about How Microsoft is Killing Navision. But your findings only confirm what I’m saying in my blog. It has nothing to do with the fact that Microsoft owns Bing, because you’ll get basically the same results on Google. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a huge science in it self, and Microsoft is actually doing a good job at it, because that Dynamics NAV page from Microsoft comes up also if you search for Navision.
But I think the reason why Dynamics NAV is not coming up is simply that not enough people have been searching for Dynamics NAV before. Do the same trick with Navision and you’ll see that many suggestions comes up for Navision.
