The few times Ive used it, Ive found the accuracy to vary anywhere from 0-100m. The accuracy varies in local regions too, so while one part of a suburb might be offset 50m north-east of reality, another part of the suburb might be offset 50m south-east of reality, this means you constantly have to realign the imagery while working with it. I remember hearing once about someone writing some sort of plugin or database which kept a track of how offset parts of the bing imagery are, but never heard if it was successful or how extensive the coverage is. Given its age (over 10 years old in Canberra), and these nasty accuracy limitations anyone would be crazy to use it in preference to NearMap.
