    Whenever you see "Fix: various small internal improvements and bug fixes", think "Blacklisted some more illicit serial numbers".

    (No, I have never tried using an illicit serial number on EarthView. I wouldn't want it installed, free or otherwise.)

    Ummm, imemine, point me to an example of free software that provides accurate, real-time cloud cover imagery. That's what DeskSoft charges for--not just pretty clouds, but actual, real-time cloud images. (I'm not saying it's worth the price or even particularly useful.)

    well its nice to have the earth as a wallpaper, to see the position of the sun if thats how you like to keep your daily schedule if you dont use a 'time clock' as much.
    but what would make it worth the cost, would be if they stopped charging an additional monthly subscription to actually see realtime satellite clouds, and made it free like other desktop earth programs which offer the same quality cloud overlays.
    of course the day google earth could be an interactive earth desktop with your choice of overlays, that will be nice....

    I must agree with 'vimes' It's nice, but practically worthless, making the $25 asking price far too excessive. $10 would be closer to reality of 'worth.'

    It is good at what it does and whilst it offers no real practical value, for me anyway, it is still nice to look at. However I can't get my head around the cost of it, it is way too expensive for what it offers.
