Bing Maps and Surface 2.0 SDK

Question

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to use bing maps in my surface 2.0 application. I can see there is a bing map control in the Touch Pack for Windows 7 but I don't see how we can use that. What's the easiest way to use bing maps in your surface 2.0 applications? 

Thank you in advance.

WPF Map released from the Bing team today!

That should make it easy for you to display a map in your WPF application.

Thanks!

The link provided above is dead. If someone know where it went, and can also provide an implementation for html5, it would be appreciated.
