Microsoft have just announced a major new release of the Bing Maps Platform. The most significant change is the official release of the Silverlight Control. This allows rich multimedia and embedded video to be integrated into Bing Maps using Silverlight.

Documentation for the Bing Maps Silverlight Control 1.0 can be found here.

Earlier this year we published an overview and demo of the Bing Maps Silverlight CTP. This CTP will cease to function on December 31st 2009. Users of the CTP should upgrade their Silverlight code to use the new v1 of the Bing Maps SilverLight Control.

A review of the other Bing Maps additions (including draggable routes) can be found here.

Bing and Mappoint 2010 interface not working as of Monday
written by Curtis Stogsdill, November 11, 2009

On Monday the interface between Mappoint and Bing maps is not working correctly. Bing is defaulting to my “General Settings” preference instead of showing the area associated with the Mappoint map.

I called Microsoft but got nowhere due to 2010 not being tech supported and bing being a website. Have you noticed this?

Looks to be working here.

I've just tried it here, and it looks to be working fine: perhaps they've fixed it?
Or could it be a setting change at your end?
I'm running with MapPoint 2010, default browser is Firefox.
