Virtual Earth 3D is the future. I haven't been so impressed or had more fun with a software application in a long time. Seriously. Not only can you zoom in fly down the street you live on- but you can do a search and find all the cool used record stores in your neighborhood. This team has created the most photo-realistic search tool out there and the proof is obvious. Check out how seamlessly you can zoom in and out of these virtual cities and you can't help but notice the lack of "grey boxes" you may find instead of actual buildings- like you would see in some other 3d search engines ;P
Plus Stephen Lawler talks a little about how this was done and what to expect from it in the future...
