Apple Campus Missing From MSN Earth

Posted by timothy on from the take-a-memo-take-a-joke dept.

webguru4god writes "The Register has an article detailing a significant omission from Microsoft's new Virtual Earth application. Apparently the satellite image view of 1 Infinite Loop in Cupertino, CA shows a large empty lot, whereas Google Maps shows the sprawling Apple campus. Hmmm, I wonder if the Google campus is missing too?"

    And that's enough.

    IMO it "shows" a lot about how MS competes. If you're the big dog, you don't have to be better, just louder. Its obvious MS didn't care about accuracy, only about being able to have marketing bullets.

    That still doesn't change the fact that Microsoft copied Google's idea of making satellite imagery available for free on the internet.

    If by "fact" you mean something that is not true, then I see your point.
