Google Earth 5!
« on: February 02, 2009, 03:07:36 PM »
Not so long ago (as in minutes), Google FINALLY released Google Earth 5.

I'm liking it so far because...
  • it has historical imagery,
  • you can DIVE into the ocean,
  • you can go to Mars, and
  • there's new effects for bubbles and placemarks

It's just cool, 'mkay? Try it out!

No, and I could get into a very lengthy discussion about that.

Adam Berg often says and subsequently emphasizes the word DIVE.

I wish. GE6 will likely be out after Win7 (which I want badly, but have no DVD, so too late :cry3: )

Guess I can wait.

Just installed Google Earth 5, and it is pretty neat. The historical satellite imagery is awesome.

Virtual PC 2007: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=04d26402-3199-48a3-afa2-2dc0b40a73b6&displaylang=en

Windows 7 Home Page: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/

Just Download the ISO for 7 after installing VPC07 set the VPC RAM at 512 MB to install. To download Windows 7, it uses the download manager plugin so you have to use IE 7, IE 8 beta 1, or IE 8 beta 2.
