WWT might be as popular as google earth but I didn`t learn anything new from the guy.

Aside that the repeated mentioning of Microsoft.. it sounds more like a advert.

The pic at 3:50 is awesome, I would give anything to travel the universe, these places look like they belong in fantasy books.

Why has microsoft released something google already has integrated into GoogleEarth.

I wanna know what the differences are, cuz it seems like one of the two groups has wasted alot of money and hours doing duplicate work.

Google Sky is lame, its only constellations, it goes nowhere near into THIS much detail.

Hopefully when this is released it will have Brian Eno doin the music too lol.
