Two HUGE Customer Migrations to the Virtual Earth Platform

I'm still celebrating the Giants big upset in the Superbowl Sunday, so I'll be brief in this post. Two leading brands in their respective industries of real estate and yellow page directory search have just completed migrating the mapping and local search portions of their websites to the Virtual Earth platform!

Yellowbook, The largest independent yellow pages publisher, has migrated their application from Mapquest to Virtual Earth in order to take advantage of VE's advanced rooftop geocoding and maps. Because I truly feel bad for the pats, I offer up this search for grief counseling near Boston to help them cope as they face the reality that they aren't perfect.

Windermere released Property Point 3 and in so doing migrated from a mapping solution built on ESRI and Google mapping to the V6 Virtual Earth platform.

Tune in here tomorrow for some exciting acquisition news. Mr. Ballmer threw out some aggressive numbers at the web2 conference last year and we're starting to see some of this have real impact, even over here in our little corner of the company.
