it's pretty serious when a software and corporate giant like MS creates a service with significantly (15 years!!) outdated data simply to say "we're doing it too"
The satellite photograph used by MSN Visual Earth is from U.S. Geological Survey and was taken on October 30, 1991.
Reg reader Michael Sage pointed out that zooming in on the UK will reveal towns like Norwich and Lowestoft long before little old London appears. Is London next to be removed? We need to know.

Maybe they got them from the CIA's Yugoslav war planning department.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

what amazes me the most though is Microsoft's ability to actually find such old (15 years!!) data. one would have expected the USGS to have thrown that stuff away 10 years ago during a disk cleanupCo-Founder, Apolyton Civilization Site

Thats your solution, rather then go BUY map data they scrounged through the USGS's DumpsterCompanions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators, the creator seeks - those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters; for everything about him is ripe for the harvest. - Thus spoke Zarathustra, Fredrick NietzscheComment
