12/13   Remember the first time you saw a9 or google maps and said "WOW!"?
        Here's something from Microsoft that's pretty cool as well. Go to
        your favorite destination and then click on "Bird's Eye Imagery"
        http://local.live.com
        \_ when they get out of beta, it'll be cool.  for now, it's godly
           slow and chunky.  google earth was there so much sooner, with
           a much better product (go figure, eh?).
           and it doesn't cover nearly enough cities.
           \_ WOW, I didnt realize we had such a committed Microsoft
              apologist here.  It *is* so slow and clunky it is
              unusable.  And is this supposed to be useful or just
              going for a "wow"?  Google maps is useful, eventhough it
              does list some strange search matches.  A site that has
              random aerial pictures is just a site that has random
              aerial pictures.  It isn't a useful mapping site.
              \_ Dude, did you read the previous post? You both agree.
