OK, there is another reason to get Windows XP.

Meanwhile, check out all the NASA Apollo landing sites at http://moon.google.com/ and be sure to zoom all the way in to really see the moon's surface.

www.earth.google.com is the coolest thing I've seen on the Internet for A WHILE! I was able to zoom in on the house where I used to live in Houston (Actually Pearland) 30 years ago. Things have changed down there.

Depending on the population of the area you're looking for, you can get very detailed satelite views.

I used it to look the place where I grew up for 15 years. I had no idea there were so many fishing holes that I never tried.
