Excellent, as usual, and the new interface is much better. As it has already been said this is NOT the final release but a RC5. The final is scheduled for the Valentine's Day. Remember also that the comparison between NWW and GE is a bit odd because NWW : - is an open source project - uses free data - has unique features in this new version (3D glasses usage, dynamic sun lighting,...) - is mainly intended for scientific purposes - can display Earth but also other planets... I gave it a 5 :D Do you want to see what the planet would look like if the temperature keeps on rising ? Use NWW : -> http://forum.worldwindce...m/showthread.php?t=8592

I don't get people that complain about .NET like it's some kind of malicious spyware. It doesn't hurt anything and more and more software is going to require it, plus it comes as part of Vista. Get over it. This is not the final by the way, wait until Feb 14

Skyfrog: You misunderstood. My apologies. I merely wished to let everyone know it required .NET. Usually, that's listed as a prerequisite. As for the 2...that was an error. I clicked at the wrong time. That has now been resolved. --- World Wind now requires .NET 2.0 as of release 1.4

Excellent program for the people who know what it's for. Unfortunatly we still seem to be getting people who just can't understand that this is not for looking up streets. If you don't understand a program, 1)Why are you downloading it? 2)Don't write a review bashing it when YOU can't read a description! Again for those who can't read a description but can read a review, THIS IS NOT GOOGLE EARTH nor does it claim to be. Also if you have a 800Mhz processor with 128MB of ram,this isn't for you.
