  • PC with Intel Core 2 Duo processor with 2 gigahertz (GHz) or faster, recommended
  • 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM; 2 GB RAM recommended
  • 3D accelerated card with 128 megabytes (MB) RAM; discrete graphics card with dedicated 256-MB VRAM recommended for higher performance
  • 1 GB of available hard disk space; 10 GB recommended for off-line features and higher performance browsing

I haven't checked it out yet but I've got the page saved for later...
 
Looks like goggle earth to me :rolleyes: Does ANYONE at MS have any original ideas or do they copy everyone else?
 
I also found the "zoomed in" terrain definition was poorer than Google earth. I did'nt waste too much time on it so perhaps I still should have setup something a little finer.
