We all know Microsoft are jealous of Google's search engine. Which brings in over 2 Million daily users and over $30,000,000. A couple of years ago Google released You must login or register to view this content. which has evolved into an amazing project which now allows you to view any road in Europe at street level.

Microsoft for some reason can't create there own ideas, they just steal them. So they've made StreetView, which claims to be much better quality than Google's standard definition camera shots.

They have claimed that it will not be a worldwide project when it starts off, unlike GoogleMaps. But it will only take high definition images of Main Cites and streets in England.

It was only a couple of Months ago Google got out of a court case due to breaking 'Privacy' laws. But now Microsoft have now decided to jump on the band-wagon.

What do you guys think of this?
Does this effect the way you look at cameras?
Do you feel vulnerable knowing your house is on the internet?
Or do you see it as a good cause, so we can look back on the images in the later future?

I love Microsoft(primarily for Windows & XBOX), but they've gotta slow down a bit on this war they have going on w/ Google. Why? Because they won't win it. Google are kings of search engines for a reason and Bing won't change that, the same goes for this.

Why has MS taken soo long to upgrade it service and do something google was doing first.

MS are in a hard place
Google has almost complete control in most areas.

Look forward to any funny images which may appear

Sorry, I tend to like Bing better than Google. Just my opinion :y:

Edit: Just saying, Bing Maps looks and preforms much better in my opinion.
