"that's actually a screenshot of nyc.[3] Posted by: tien | November 7, 2006 11:09 AM" So what? The software and Microsoft has nothing to do with nyc! NOTHING. Since it maps the world, is this software *about* Egypt? Is it *about* Madagascar? Is it *about* Siberia? All I have to do is type in an address in Iraq, take a screenshot of the software showing Baghdad, and suddenly the announcement of Microsoft software is directly relevant to Iraq!

I think google has some competition here. The install, IMHO, is better than Google Earth (which doesn't show through the browser at all.) JonS

If it doesn't include NYC, why is it on Gothamist?

OK, it looks great, but I am not going to use IE or install more Micro$oft crap software that can't even be designed to not be a a memory hog.
