yeah, you need a relatively powerful machine to take full advantage of it.

Oh and M$N to come out with their own version MSN to take on Google Earth

k, I'm gonna try it.
have the caution though:
"Windows-based notebook PCs older than 2 years old may not be able to run it."

my main wksta (which also is fastest of mine... damn it sucks being between jobs ) fits in to this older category.

Quite the GIS endeavor. I wonder how many companies Google has their tendrils plugged into to get that much Geo data.....
