It's called being part of a free market, if you don't innovate and do something better then the competitors you have a tendency to fail, by being just as good as Google you are not going to draw Google's users over to Bing, if you were better then Google you would have a better chance of drawing over Google's users. ;)
I don't see that happening to any company/corporation other than MS though. $200 says Apple could release something that's exacty like the Zune, or Windows, throw an "i" infront of it, and have hordes of people throw away their college savings just to have it.

Bing loads just as fast as Google for me, looks nicer, and has a couple of nifty features (playing a clip of a video when you hover over it) that I don't see on Google. It doesn't give me a headache like Google does (with the white background), and it does exactly what I expect it to do (return a list of results for whatever I decide to search). If anything, it's better than Google (even if it's by a small margin, based on personal taste).

That being said, I'm still going to use Google. Why? I honestly don't know. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using it, and whenever I want to look something up on the internet, I automatically type Google into my address bar without knowing it. I'm sure thousands of people do exactly the same thing, and for whatever reason, decide to jump on the "MS sucks" bandwagon anyway.
