As the Bing-Maps became accessible from my PC, I challenged to experience their operability. The first thing I thought after using them was that MS would never fail to combine Bing-Maps and MS-Excel soon or later as follows. 1) From Excel software on one’s desktop machine, direct output and storage of one’s worksheet or graph onto the Bing-Maps may become possible. This means that making of figures as shown above may be easily possible without any cut and paste. Above figure was made with a repetition of multiple cut and paste. 2) Excel-like simple workbench may be usable on Bing-Maps. At least in Japan, lots of users would switch to Bing-Maps. As the Google’s reputation largely depends on Google-map, its business model would be impacted to a greater or lesser extent. Even under the Chrome OS’s dominance, Windows OS would survive. MS must have learned a lot from Mac OS’s survival strategy after Win95 more than anyone else.
