This is not a reply to my objections about interface

You have provided promotional material showing the existing interface. It is simply not possible to get compass direction information or a "real sky" view out of WorldWide Telescope. I have tried. A reviewr at Discovery Channel has tried and failed. It is not possible and severely limits its usefulness especially to teachers trying to relate astronomy studies to the real world.
