Ok I am fairly new to this so any help is appreciated. How difficult is it
to convert my MapPoint webservice to BingMap webservice?

Well the answer depends on a variety of questions
- What services/calls are you using in MWS?
- What version of .NET/Java are you running?

Almost all features have their own equivalents from MWS to Bing WS. The
most notable missing one is FindNearby datasource searching. Also, only
consider using Bing WS if you are running .NET 3.5+ as the (WCF) services are
only compatible with that runtime set. Java users will not be concerned with
this issue though as you should already be using Axis 1.4 to run MWS.
