WWT is really awesome. Google Sky can't even compare.

I was hoping a more 3D like experience in the universe (like you can around most of the planets), but I guess that's something that can be worked on.

Overall, it's just neat, and I'm sure it will be a great tool for amateur astronomers (or even pros) and regular people.

Kudos to MS.

But, Microsoft took Google's idea. Turn the table and there would be a lawsuit brewing.

@tekman94: Uh, then it could also be said that Google has taken Stellarium's and Celestia's idea first.

And also that Google has taken the idea of e-mailing, IM, traffic, personalized maps, and many other things from Microsoft and Yahoo!.

Turn the tables on those and there would be a lawsuit brewing.
