A more interactive Bing 2.0 coming next week?

Yesterday news broke on Twitter about the demo of Bing 2.0 at the Microsoft annual meeting. Mary Jay Foley on ZDnet has coverage of the story.

The tweets say it's slotted for this fall and could be released as early as next week.

The exact details are sketchy, but one feature that came out was the use of interactive maps using Silverlight integrated into the results. Other "vizualization" features we also alluded to. For example, one tweet:

Bing 2.0, out this month, has some exciting new features. Imagine seeing maps plus pics from the neighborhood of a restaurant to try.

We'll have to wait and see for ourselves...
