That's good to know about Bing using winter imagery. That reminds me of a situation around the Pentagon: some years ago they did a major rerouting of Route 110 which involved reconfiguring parking lots and so on. I THINK this was already underway on 9/11.

Anyway, for 3 to 5 years after the reconfiguration happened, Google Earth was using the old aerial picture, taken before they started in on changing the roads. I've always wondered why that happened-- I had the feeling that other nearby places were being updated but not the immediate Pentagon area. However Bing maps were showing the new roads during that time.
