They have much lower limits of number of views, etc. Also, with Google Maps those limits are for your end users. With Bing (I think) they are tied to your API key.

I found Google much more useful for that sort of thing. This is probably one of those scenarios in which I was not patient enough with the new thing. I do see many more sites using bing nowadays however. I do prefer the interface and it does seem much more snappy.
