  Duration of ownership: 1 Days

  Strengths: It installs just fine for me. I have a two year old eMachines W3503, with an extra 1GB RAM and GeForce 8500GT video card.

  Weaknesses: Maybe it's just my ignorance, but I couldn't find any way to get half the zoom that Google Earth is capable of.

  Overall Evaluation: It's ok, but I much prefer Google Earth.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Much clearer and closer views worldwide. Many more features, and the ability to look closeup at planets and stars as well as everywhere on earth (as opposed to google earth)

  Weaknesses: Alot of disc space required as well as CPU usage and have to install NET framework.

  Overall Evaluation: For all of the prior evaluations, you obviously have outdated PC's or are just newbies. This product is far superior to any google progs Ive used and it installed fine for me. PS check the requirements to run it and BTW, take a computer course.
