I've been missing out BIG TIME. I can't believe how much is integrated into it. My favorite thing about Earth is that Google has integrated the "Layers" where basically you can view anything from Weather, to directory listings, to Place of Interest, to Earthquakes, and even 3D models. I also gave Microsoft's Visual Earth a look, it doesn't even compare to Google Earth. I'd say the only thing I did like about Visual Earth is the "birds-eye" views (aerial pictures). I bet Google is working on getting this though...
