New mapping online @ http://maps.live.com/

Microsoft only has a few cities rendered in 3-D, it's slow to render, slow to download and only works on I.E., but it's pretty cool... I'm also impressed at the amount of buildings rendered, also that the rendering extends well beyond the CBD, unlike Google earth...

Here's a few screenshots:

Fisher Body 21:

The CBD:

The UA, complete with its "Opportunity" banners:

Even the under construction MGM is on here:

MCS:

Even here, getting away from "landmarks", McDougall & E. Canfield:

All in all, very interesting... The mapping battles heat up...
