"Great wallpaper"
Version: Desktop Earth 2.1.1
Pros
Nicely detailed view of the Earth with day/night sectors and city light features.
Cons
The automatic update feature does not work (on my computer) although it did for a very brief time after initial installation, then stopped.
Summary
The automatic update feature does not work (on my computer) although it did for a very brief time after initial installation, then stopped. It will now only update if I go into Options/Apply/OK. I have uninstalled/reinstalled it a number of times without success. If anyone knows of a soluition I would appreciate it.

"Who Said This Updates IN REAL-TIME?"
Version: Desktop Earth 2.1.1
Pros
Program shows where the sun is shining.
Cons
Program does NOT actually show real-time earth images from a satellite.
Summary
Nice, if you want to watch where the sun is. But the CLOUD PATTERNS NEVER CHANGE.
(Obviously, a little tip-off that this is NOT relaying actual satellite images in real-time!)
You can subtract all cloud images with the program, but it somehow loses interest now that I know its just a repetitive, slowly turning, static PHOTOGRAPH of the planet, and not a real image. -

"Try it, you wont disagree with me :)"

Pros
What to say..WoW this is the best Wallpaper I ever had, really! Try it !!!
Cons
None, and the most important it is not slowing down your PC!

I like this product because: it's easy to install, it has no virus, spyware, malware etc. It looks absolutely perfect for wallpaper, and the best of all (for me) you can see what weather and is it day or night from most of the countries!
