This thing is far better than the online Google maps :)

Also, MS are making their own Google-Earth-style program with lots of high-res imagery and the 3D/graphics engine - well, anyone remember Flight Simulator? Anyone seen how fantastic the recent version is? :D

MS put up a job posting for a team manager, and in the job listing they mocked GE. Should be fun times ahead :)

Oh, and us NASA World Wind folk have the green light from MS to use their high-res sat imagery in World Wind....but we can't get the plugin to work. Any .NET coders around? ;)
 
i wasn't that impressed by world wind

this has got a nicer feel than the others, shame it has only limited aerial photos (a beta side effect i assume)
 
Not that impressed tbh. Google earth > *.

For a start it's a spherical map so you don't get any distortion.
 
Why are you nutters comparing it to GE, this is a web-based thing :p

gMaps is still the better option in terms of business/address finding, but the bird's eye views and general interface of local.live (if you just want to look at maps) is far better, I think.
