  Gates unveils MSN Virtual Earth - mapping and satellite service
Time: 22:55 EST/03:55 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

"Jason Calacanis reports that Microsoft chairman Bill Gates just unveiled their Google Maps killer, complete with photos taken over cities at a 45-degree angle. The maps also include satellite photos, like Google’s, so Microsoft’s has two very different real-world mapping views to Google’s one. In addition, their product supports overlays, like Google Maps. More to come, so we’ll have to see if their product is actually better."

Update: Press Release from Pictometry, Microsoft's aerial mapping partner.
