What's New in ArcGIS Online 9.3.1

ArcGIS Online 9.3.1 gives users quick and easy access to a set of foundation services for GIS projects and provides a platform to discover and share geographic information.

Bing Maps for Enterprise (formerly Virtual Earth) Now Seamlessly Integrated with ArcGIS

A new agreement between ESRI and Microsoft gives ArcGIS users seamless access to Bing Maps. ArcGIS Desktop, ArcGIS Server, and ArcGIS Explorer users will be able to directly connect to Bing Maps to enhance their GIS projects.
