First Look At Microsoft WorldWide Telescope

May 15th, 2008 Noor

Well, when i first saw the WWT released by microsoft, i thought that it would be something similar to google earth in some way, but after installing its different and its kinda interesting since it combines the virtual earth imagery and someo other custom functionalities that can be achieved through google earth but not accessible as easy as WWT,

after the installation, it took sometime to start maybe a couple of minutes on a Core Due 2.0 2GB RAm(only the first run), but the interface is user friendly and smooth,

the thing i liked about it is the organizing worth seeing collection of imagery into collections easier to manage and reach

and at the same time the package is highly customizable through settings

but one thing to note is that on running the package ur processor usage will be alway 50% which i think its improper
