MS did a music related demo where a power query was done within MS Excel. The query was simply "top rock classics". Excel sent the query to Bing's database and then built a spreadsheet of songs, cross indexed on how many weeks each song was on the Billboard charts. You can highlight words for expanded results. The presenter highlighted a song and got back a list of albums with the similar characteristics that could also be opened and explored.

Office documents are going to be much more "live" in that information in a document has the ability to update based on changes in Bing's data base. Things like your spell check and dictionary will update themselves via Bing. So far though, there have not been a lot of apps developed to work with the various components of office. The promise is there, but the delivery hasn't been very swift.
