I am in a similar boat with some clients that utilizing the flash API, I 
was fortunate enough to tell them they would need to switch to javascript 
in the future. While it would take some work, I could move to another flash 
based API within the application. If the client is blaming you for 
something Google did, I am pretty sure you don't want that client anyways.

Also comparing a back-end server language is not the same as a connected 
online API. If you read through bing's map TOS it reads almost identically 
to the Google TOS. They can cancel services, they are not liable etc.. 
etc.. Also in scale of course asp.net would have higher quality support 
then the flash maps api, in the same way the google javascript API has 
better support, it's about resources. I am pretty sure if you're using a 
microsoft product that very few people use, you're not going to get the 
same quality of support as you would with asp.net.

I haven't done any form of bench marking yet, but V3 seems fast. Also here 
is a link to the article

It sucks you lost a client, however I would be hesitant of judging Google 
based just on the flash maps API depreciation. It's a big company, not 
everyone at it decided they wanted to depreciate the flash maps API.
