I would like to see Bing do some more interesting things with this image to make it seem more like a personalised search engine.

For example, since Bing integrates with Live accounts, I'd suspect there is obviously some recording of previous searches by MS to help deliver better results.

Privacy issues aside, I think it might be quite clever for Bing's background image to be more customised to what you might enjoy based off your previous searching history.

EG, say I searched for puppies and dogs more often than the average person, having more cute puppy pictures as my background might make the engine be more appealing to me, even though I wouldn't know it directly.
