MSN Update
Today I found this month-0ld video of the MapPoint team that describes what will becoming from them in a few weeks. It looks like they will address some of my issues and add a lot of sexy features. The video can be found here

Here's a summary of what is new/cool:
Layered/Dynamic searches - the ability to layer up to five searches on the map, the searches are dynamically updated as the user pans and zooms.
Scratchpad - a place to save the places/results the user is most interested in. The scratchpad can be shared via email, MSN Spaces, etc.
They are doing some neat things with satellite maps where they overlay street names and landmarks right onto the maps.
They will be adding a detail page, which doesn't exist today to include store hours, etc.
"Eagle Eye" view which will include low altitude aerial photographs taken at a 45 degree angle will (from Pictometry) not be in the July release. This feature seems like an eye candy feature to me.
