Bird's Eye View

Windows Live Local just launched and it's super sweet. Why? Well, it has all the basic features that you get with Google Maps--map view, aerial/satellite view, pushpins, directions, etc...but they added a Bird's Eye View which gives a really awesome perspective. Even cooler is the fact that you can change the orientation around and get many perspectives of a given landmark or building. They don't have bird's eye view images everywhere but for a good number of cities, including Seattle, L.A., Boston, San Francisco, Vegas, New York, etc.--check them out. Below is a comparison of a satellite image vs. a bird's eye image of my condo:
