  The New Release of Live Maps and Virtual Earth 3D is now Live
Time: 20:53 EST/01:53 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Jonathan Tigner

I'm so glad to finally announce that the latest version of Live Maps is online and ready for you to play with. This ended up being a much bigger release than originally planned including three full sprints of development. As always the changes visible in the user interface only scratch the surface of the dozens of improvements across the application tiers including Geocoding enhancements, browser compatibility (Safari and IE8), parsing improvements, reverse geocoding, printing improvements and tons more. We are also releasing an upgrade of our Map Control to version 6.1 for developers. Give it a try and let us know what you think by dropping a comment here or emailing me at Stevelom at microsoft d com.

why do we need to install anything? why isn't this a silver light pluggin or something like that. Having to install something locally will only hamper it's acceptance

It wasn't clear whether this included 3D, nor if local.live.com would replace their current control with it (I suspect they will), but a Silverlight VE control was announced and shown at Mix 08 and should appear soon. A WPF control was also acknowledged, but no timeframe was given.
