Yes, they called it bird's eye view. I think they got rid of it.

It's still there, in emasculated form, but instead of being able to browse around in oblique mode you have to right-click on a point of interest and select it.

And developers wonder why users "don't like change"...

I think Bing made this change because they only have "birds-eye" imagery for a few cities.
