Hold on, are you saying the big integration effort between the different Microsoft products is the ability to search with Bing inside random applications and devices? Come on, this is not something any consumer would ever see as a value add. This is a waste of resources, nothing more.
Integration is only integration if it adds value. No wonder Microsoft is dieing if this is the kind of thing they are wasting time on instead of useful features. Who would ever want to search with Bing from their xbox?!
The awful Microsoft Accounts just gives consumers one new and popular question to ask: how do I turn off Microsoft Accounts? That's literally the most asked question in regards to that piece of terrible functionality.
Come on anybody at Microsoft reading this, get rid of people like this and focus on giving consumers something they actually want. You might be able to turn this around if you act quickly.
Huh? No, I'm not saying that any of that is the result of a monumental effort at Microsoft. Most of that has been around for quite a while. I was just responding to the parent poster who pointed out that they hadn't noticed any integration between the different Microsoft products in the image at the top of the original post.

Needs citation. The only response I've seen from real people is roughly "Wow, cool!" when the see their lock screen picture and wallpaper sync automatically to a new machine when they log in for the first time.

In case it wasn't clear to you, I don't work for Microsoft and haven't ever.
