Yet another new name for Live Maps (whatever)

“Live Search Maps will now be called Bing Maps – with the Virtual Earth platform becoming Bing Maps for Enterprise.”

This comes on the heels of the announcement of Bing, Microsoft’s “decision engine,” which goes live worldwide June 3. For more on Bing, Discover Bing. The few previews I read, including this one from Wired, say about the same things: some cool stuff, but stay with Google on search. I know I’m a hard sell to get off Google, but I’ll give Bing a try, if only because I like the cherries.

No change in map product functionality.
