Hi all, Since the release of this PCWorld article: http://www.pcworld.com/article/252649/microsofts_secret_weapon_against_google_maps_open_source.html
we have a "media hype" (or media excitement ?) about Microsoft investing "big dollars" in OSM. This was repeated in the TheVerge article (http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/27/2906212/microsoft-openstreetmap-google-maps-competitor) and next in many, many other blogs/media/press around the world. Where is the truth here ? Is the "big support and big money" the access of Bing aerial imagery ? Is that all ? Who much does it cost to Microsoft to allow its aerial imagery usage in OSM ? I don't find any answer/facts to these simple questions but many speculations.
