Windows Live Local - Virtual Earth Technology Preview
Pues si... muy al estilo Microsoft aparece en internet publico el preview de lo que sera el Virtual Earth de M$ y podemos ver las primeras imagenes de la respuesta de Microsoft a la tecnologia de Google.Podemos ver un mando de la XBOX dentro de una nave espacial, que resulta ser un coche deportivo,si quieres usar el teclado para dirigir el vehiculo ya te aparece tu primer contrato para aceptar la tecnologia de Windows Live...algo exclusivo y patentado seguramente con algun texto que dice "Tecnologia para dirigir a traves de las teclas de cursor..." para asi poder referirse a algo tecnologico y poder pasar esa primera barrera que impide que alguna obvia estupidez sea patente registrada en la EPO.Como siempre la ultima tecnologia de Microsoft es la imitacion de algun producto de la competencia pero con ese estilo que tanto les caracteriza...lo digo por lo garrulin que queda... o:)
Al parecer se dedican a circular con un coche con camaras grabando todo lo que ocurre en la ciudad.La noticia ha salido publicada en SlashDot, un lector anonimo ha dicho:
"Today as we were biking around our neighborhood in a small city we saw a strange vehicle slowly driving around. It appeared to be an SUV, bristling with cameras mounted on the roof, and pointing just about every possible direction. The first time we saw it, all we could see was that it had a sign on the side, something about Windows. The second time we saw it, we stared at it so hard that the driver stopped and we had a chance to ask him what it was all about. He said he was driving around, filming streets, and that there were people doing this all over the world, and getting data from the air too. It was going to be available on the Web. I asked him if this was Microsoft's answer to Google Earth, and he indicated that it was. There seems to be very little about this on the Web, and I found no mention of Microsoft's collection of this sort of detailed street level data. The Windows site appears to be http://preview.local.live.com/, although since I use a Mac it didn't work properly. I'm not sure I want my neighborhood viewable on the Web from ground level. And are they going to edit all the people out? I don't see how they could."
