Yesterday I had a brief exchange with Stefan Weitz on Twitter and it would appear that the new version of Bing might actually, finally, be coming soon.

I wonder if the availability of Bing HTML5 might occur at the BUILD conference, that’s happening soon. If that is the case then there would in theory be more announce about Bing, surely just an update to the UI of Bing doesn’t need to be launched at Microsoft’s biggest conference. The UI update also wouldn’t be of a huge interest to developers which makes me wonder if there will be some new developer focused announced from the Bing team. Not long until we find out anyway.

Make sure you keep a look out for the new version of Bing and if you don’t know what I am talking about I posted a video of the new version last week.

[...] Today I was tipped off (@CB_27 and @Henryed07) and that Bing has received a minor update that tweaks a few things. Not surprisingly most of the changes occur on the US version on Bing but to be fair there are also some changes to the UK version. This isn’t the update I was expecting to see for Bing, but it’s nice none the less, I was expecting HTML5. [...]

[...] Today Bing has received a minor update that tweaks a few things, most noteable it brings Metro UI buttons to the bottom left of the homepage image. It’s likely that there will soon be more changes to Bing in the way of HTML5 which should also bring more Metro designs to Bing. [...]

"icons showing the synch status of files would be nice too, just like SVN, Drop Box, G Drive do :)"

"I have annother tip. You could have all your documents folder synced to skydrive if you right click the my documents folder and change the location of my documents to a folder within skydrive. That way when you change something in my documents folders it is also updated to skydrive. You can do this to sync between computers if you don't exceed the skydrive limit."

"Whta's about hardlinks (fsutil....) - so you can have yor original useful file structure and those folders, which should be synced, as hardlinks in the skydrive-structure? However, Live Mesh rules and I am also sad, that this good important difference to dropbox & Co - I can select, which folders of my structure should be synced - is now missing. "

"I think Microsoft is reinventing itself in a good way. Deep SkyDrive and Office integration while keeping everything in sync (tablets, desktop, laptop, phone) is a great value that I think should and will attract some people as well as part of the Enterprise sector"

"Wouldn't it be nice for the Windows Phone 7 app to have a back-up functionality? That you can back-up all (or a section of) your pictures, documents on your phone instead of the one-by-one approach."
