Virtual Earth is Microsoft's answer to Google Earth. Virtual Earth is the next generation mapping and location service. It combines the MapPoint Web Service with new innovations around bird's eye, satellite and aerial imagery, map styles and usability as well as enhanced local search. The Virtual Earth platform enables you add bird's eye imagery to such things as real estate applications for show prospective clients, enhance store locators with the dynamic, drag-n-drop maps and provide drivers with highly-visual driving directions. Virtual Earth is powered by Windows Live Local, Microsoft's online local search and mapping web site. Take your websites and applications to the next level by creating an immersive online mapping and visualization experience with the Virtual Earth platform.

Google Earth works well, but Virtual Earth is slow as heck! That's because MS Virtual Earth tries to do too many things in 3D. Just the Internet data overhead is ridiculously high. And I have 8 MBps cable download speed!
