Microsoft previews geo-mapping service | |

Users will be able to layer images, e-commerce results 
Seeking an edge on Google Inc. in localized online search, Microsoft Corp. previewed on Monday a layered, geo-mapping service featuring aerial photographs and satellite images that it promised for later this year. MSN Virtual Earth will offer detailed local search results that include actual glimpses of the pizza joints and coffee shops rather than just the rooftop views satellite images allow, the company said. | ||

Who cares about the 5-10% of users who use "Other Browsers" MSN is in the business of promoting their tools... who in the end probably won't use the MSN product just because it is from MS. Is it worth rewriting proprietary code to make them happy? I think not. |

| Tickle: This is not a copy of Google, and goes far beyond Google maps. Microsoft has been doing mapping since before Google had a name for itself, and has done it very well. |

| According to the video, it works in FireFox (gasp) as well. ;) |
