This is not a reply to my objections about interface
Talkback It is simply not possible to get compass direction information or a "real sky" view out of WorldWide Telescope. You have provided promotional material showing the existing interface. I have tried. A reviewr at Discovery Channel has tried and failed.

Microsoft does do some good stuff
Talkback To be fair, Windows Server 2008 seems a solid OS, once you shave off the thick matted fur of the marketing, and there's a good chance that Worldwide Telescope will be good (as there is for the underlying Photosynth tech).

Just tried it...
Talkback The good news is the system requirements aren't set in stone, my system is a little below the listed requirements and it still works. It looks interesting and is not too hard to use.
