Windows Live Local Virtual Earth

I found this post on a link from Lifehacker.com .
Microsoft just put this beta up, and it is pretty cool.
It is like google maps, but you get a street level real picture view, just like you were walking down the street.
Right now the only cities it offers are Seattle and SanFrancisco, with more coming.
I found it helps to up your monitor resolution and change browser to fullscreen view (usually the f11 or f12 button), that will make more room for the map.
For some reason you can move around with the view of a race car, sports car, or as a person walking, which I guess is them trying to be funny. Walking view gets rid of the extra stuff so you can see more of the pictures.
Also, using the keyboard arrow keys is better than the mouse.
