Should Microsoft make their websites more consistent with Outlook.com?

I Do find it annoying that Bing is completely different from Outlook in look and it also is annoying that if I get a Skype notification it comes up in Outlook.com but not Bing.com

So what do you think Should Bing be more in line with Outlook.com in looks or stay how it is?

I agree. It's actually a jarring change from Outlook.com/OneDrive/Office Online to Bing.com.

It's true that they provide a link to Outlook.com, and it may have been a conscious choice to keep the page simple to code and easy to load, but it would be nice if we get extra functionality in the top bar.

I agree. They should be like Google search. It's all consistent with all their services

That's a set of subtle changes.

What I'd really like are the following:
1. A switch to an Outlook/OneDrive style top bar in Bing. Oh, and make Bing less of an obvious Google rip-off.
The top bar could contain options (and search bar, of course), and the left sidebar could be what to search.
2. A link to Bing on Outlook/OneDrive/Office Online. Seriously, can't you reciprocate this?
