Microsoft clearly wants to walk on the way of Google by extending search features of Bing, particularly in the maps field. A version of Silverlight of Bing Maps now has a more fuller Streetside, similar to Google Street View. Bing has taken a slightly different approach by putting the pictures together in a correct 3D perspective, whilst using a gallery that is smart enough to merge the data in location-based view of the street (street-level).

i think that Bing is not as good as Google. Google would still index new websites faster than Bing. Microsoft would still need a lot of catching to do with GoogleBot.
