I'm sure we'd all like to know!
I'm not aware of any announcement being made or (say) any formal contact
this year between Microsoft and OSMF.
As I've seen no new informations in these articles, I'm inclined to
think it's just a hype about the strategy war between the big 3 or
something like that.
Same for me here. I monitor different media streams for OSM press works
and it looked very much like a hype. No investigation and nobody checked
the informations, just copy.... :(

But nevertheless I would agree that Bing gave us a real boost in mapping
countryside etc.
