Microsoft Live has released a technical preview that demonstrates the power of Microsoft Virtual Earth - "demonstrates our work-in-progress thinking about a rich immersive experience in mapping that also explores local information". You can easily scroll through the streets of Seattle or San Francisco with what I consider more than a human eye view. The images are rendered as if you are actually driving or standing on the street, Unfortunately it's only available in those two cities (city centers). It's a preview, so don't expect too much from it and currently it can not be integrated into our web pages, so we won't be seeing any mash-ups. Using your keyboard and/or mouse to navigate the maps is awesome, select from multiple views such as race car, sports car or walking. It completely dominates road, aerial and hybrid maps and it doesn't get any better - well so far! You never say never with technology, I'm still waiting on real-time.
