IT LOOKS REAL SHARP.
BUT DID YOU SEE THE MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS ?
I CAN'T GET IT TO RUN ON EITHER OF MY HOME BOXES AND IT WOULDN'T RUN ON MY WORK BOX EITHER.
THAT ONE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A MUCH BETTER COMPUTE.

Spet a couple of hours with it very early this morning. Have 4gb ram quad cpu & Geoforce 8500 512mb gpu. Halfway through the explore tour, it started slowing. Not sure if it requires more ram or just the internet connection too slow.

Other than that, brilliant program. Still plenty more to access...

I love this program! It's beautiful and informative, perfect combo! I especially love the guided tours. That's something Google Earth should have. It runs perfectly on my quad 3gb ram machine, but I haven't been able to get it or Google Earth to work on my 2 and a half year old duo core 2 gb ram machine.
