Interesting, IE9 and I don't get that going to bing.com.au see that image but don't get the controller

Try going into settings -> "worldwide" link on the left side -> choose "Australia"

Cool! Can you literally walk around or is it just a 360 view?

"Just" a 360 view

How does this affect the page load times? :p

It doesn't.. they intelligently build the page before loading the image completely so you can search almost instantly. (Same with the video back grounds and such)

Yes, but the page is still quite heavy. Bing takes 3.77 seconds to load, whereas Google is almost five times faster at 789ms.

Really? Looks like both the pages load almost instantly. Bing loads up without that panorama and then uses javascript to load it later.

I have a still image of the same place, but it's not 360 degrees. I'm using the latest stable version of Chrome, but no love, :-( I even tried going to bing.co.uk to see if it made a difference what country's page I viewed, but it's not showing up for me.

Tried going to Australia's version of bing.com and it didn't work either, :-(

Yes. Effectively, they load in about the same time. It's just that you can start using Bing before it's finished loading, so it seems faster.
