I've been following how Bing referrals are holding out. The following stats are from a house-hold name brand's site we do the analytics for and are limited to searches in the North American market by IP and do not include PPC referrals - but are indicitive of trends I am seeing on all sites.

1st June - 7th June:

Google 40,013 visits (duplicate searches removed in all cases)
Bing 3,838 (slightly understated as it took a few hours for us to correctly attribute Bing searches).
Yahoo 5,809

8th June to 14th June:
Google 38,882
Bing 4,746
Yahoo 5,773

15th June to 16th (inc):
Google 14,482
Bing 1,922
Yahoo 2,134

What does this prove? Probably too early to tell - apart from the fact that Bing traffic seems to be holding up so far and this is reflected in many sites we monitor.
