unfortunately, just like the previous releases, this doesn't work all that well outside the  us. i'm located in munich, germany, and just tried:

- buseinesses by category (according to bing, there are no businesses at all around here)

- todays fron page (according to bing, i should visit newseum.org in washington)

- what's nearby (nothing, according to bing)

- traffic information (none)

... sorry Roger, but this simply doesn't work at all over here.

Awesome work, really cool.

Maybe, It will improve and enhance more in future for users living outside U.S

Bing maps looks pretty darn cool, especially with the update.

Will have to check it out.
