I don't doubt that MS are looking to sort that out in the future, but here and now Google have got it. I think for US users it is too easy to forget that other people have computers too. Also, when it comes to search, the ability to type in a place name and go straight there is really noticeable in its absence from VE. IMHO, that difference probably scores more than the difference in map clarity, which I'm not too convinced on in any case - I find GM perfectly clear.
