Should Bing concern Google?

Seems like Microsoft did all the right things: A catchy name without any known meaning, an interesting design, Google like appearance, quick response time, and of course, spent lots of dough on PR.
But people are used to using Google, we’ve been living by it for so long. It’s like going to a different supermarket then the one you’re used to, you can’t find anything.
So should Google be concerned?Sure, don’t forget who invented the wheel(Or in this case the window,) but I don’t think they should panic, Google owns the Internet, and it will be a while before we’ll know if Bing can really challenge the landlord.
Loved the TV commercial though (couldn’t find a link to the video on Google…)
I like the following definition from coal mining:
BING: A slag heap - a large mound of waste material from a coal mine or factory.
So… Microsoft’s search engine handles all the waste, the leftovers - after Google has extracted the important stuff.

Suggestion from the web of what BING stands for:
Bing Is Not Google
BING in Chinese means Disease
