Pros
Cannot think of anything good to say about this product. It is really called Bing Earth.
Cons
Cannot do anything street level with this product as I can with Google Earth.
Summary
Don't waste your time or energy on this product.
Pros

Summary
I had this product on my last computer & liked it fairly well. Downloaded from this site today, and when it finished, it directed me to an MS site for finalization of the download. That site no longer exists, nor can you find the product on any of the MS search pages. So now I have the product taking up space on my computer, but it is not useable.
Pros
It's hard to evaluate a program that won't even open on my machine.
Cons
Nonfunctional.
Summary
It doesn't work.
Pros
3D Graphics would be interesting if they would display.
Cons
Poorly designed, buggy, typical half-baked Microsoft product, even as a beta.
Summary
Don't bother, this puppy is not nearly ready for prime time. Try again in 2010. Stick with Google Earth. Far superior to this product.
Pros
1) Browser friendly
2) Integrated with Live Maps for easy switching between 2d and 3d
3) Birdseye View
4) 3d landscapes and buildings look relatively realistic to the real thing
5) Move tools are easy to use (especially with keyboard shortcuts)
Cons
1) Make sure your computer has been recently defragged before attempting to run
2) Have a relatively fast internet connection
Summary
When I tried out Google Earth, my computer was having nothing but problems. However, Virtual Earth requires no external program, only an up-to-date computer/browser.
Comparing it to Google Earth, it certainly does not have as many features. However, if it did, it would be a memory hog too. Nevertheless, VE is a great deal, considering it's free.
Pros
Looks very good but....
Cons
Not even close to Google Earth in ease of use!
Summary
I deleted it after a few tries with it.
Pros
i liked the 3d effect i cities
Cons
gets blurred too early in zoom and poor in out in the country locations
Summary
its so so but can be improved a lot i'm sure
Pros
Even bugs are cool to look at for a minute.
Cons
Gets old fast.
Summary
I guess I expect more. Its 2008!
Pros
I am please with the quality of Virtual Earth. I haven't learned all I can do in it yet. I get awe struck with each new screen so it will take me a while to get on to the other options.
Cons
I haven't seen the focus and clarity I would like in a satellite connection.
Please Wait
