MS trying to out do google... Street level photos.

At first I thought it was lame, slow, and pointless.



Then I was impressed that they didn't make it crippleware in a non-M$ browser (i.e. Firefox 1.5)



Then I read the "Help" instructions and learned there are a bunch of wow-they-make-sense keyboard shortcuts.



Finally I found myself having FUN when I zoomed out so I could see nearly all of San Franciscy and I held down the UP arrow and pressed left or right at random, it was like I was really driving around!

I didn't care much for that interface...

Well, it's... different.  Updated way too slow for me.  And driving through buildings, ok, but don't sometimes correct my car to the street's centerline but not other times.  At least it's something different, though.
