it's quite powerful, you can rotate the birds eyes view (unlike google earth or google maps which is the same image as you rotate)

fun to play with in a boring morning
 
you mean like how they stole the gmail referral idea on their new messenger live, and how the program itself resembers gtalk, and how msn is similar to google now?
 
i can see my apartment windows, but probably before i bought the place and moved in 🙁
 
i hate how everyone hates on Ms. without it, we'd still have to buy software for specific computer models and we'd have 800 disks worth of floppy drivers per program. Without windows we'd have no standardization.

this ms earth is nice but scrolling is rather limited. if you didnt have to click on each tile...
 
its probably really difficult to merge the individual pictures together or on top of each other... unlike satellite images these are 3/4 birds eye view
 
this is neat but I still like google earth better. This is slower and the maps aren't as good at least in rochester and they couldn't find a couple of the addresses that google earth found no problem.

It is good to see not everyone hates microsoft for being microsoft...
