Windows Live Local

It’s meant to be like Google Maps, but made by Bill. It does do maps quite well, although I can say I like the drag scrolling, which feels like trying to drag the earth around with a pin. It also has satellite pictures called birdseye, which are taken from a different angle from Google’s on top view, although they only seem to have pictures for New York. So, it’s not as bad as it might be, but still not great…
