This is the first place I have een able to find an aerial photo of my house. Both google earth and multimap are too outdated for it to show up. Even this photo was taken before
I moved in. Before the road was laid in front of the house too

This is however only part of what makes up Windows Live. Windows Live is part of a massive rebranding program by Microsoft. It includes:
Windows Live Messenger (MSN Messenger 8.0)
Windows Live Mail (Hotmail)
Windows Live Search (MSN Search)
there is a complete list at http://ideas.live.com/ although much of it is still in beta

I highly reccomend going to a large city & finding an area where the program will give you the 'Birds Eye View' option - that is incredible Shocked
