This seems interesting, ESRI have launched ArcGIS.com
http://www.arcgis.com/home/
which has an online mapping toolset (Microsoft Silverlight plugin required)
that allows you to use OpenStreetMap basemaps -  I thought this was
interesting as it is from a company that until the OSM Haiti remote mapping
success hit the news, was perceived (by me), to have  refused to acknowledge
OpenStreetMap even existed :-)

Cool - I do wonder if they are serving the tiles, or useing OSM
bandwidth....
