I think it's hilarious because they're doing the same shenanigans that Google does.
When you search on Google everything above the fold is not "a list of search results". Often it's a definition or conversion calculator or some other custom UI that isn't "a list of search results".
Microsoft has programmed Bing to do the exact same thing. Everything above the fold is a custom UI that coincidentally looks a lot like the Google Search engine. The Chef's kiss is that it scrolls down just the tiniest bit to put the Bing UI above the fold rather than hide it. This gives them plausible deniability.
It's brilliant and hilarious. I love it. I'm still not using Bing (or Google for that matter) but I love it.
