Microsoft Research launches WorldWide Telescope, Scoble cries
- metatronscube 18y agoI will stick to the Google version primarily because of its platform independence. I have no interest in Windows applications.
- kirubakaran 18y agoMay be Wine can run it?
- tlrobinson 18y agoWindows within Parallels Desktop (OS X virtualization package) won't even run it. It needs hardware 3D acceleration apparently. I doubt Wine will work.
- tptacek 18y agoThank you for sharing.
- volida 18y agoit's also for MAC you smart, no comparison to the web version of Google
- redorb 18y agoI still don't understand what made Scoble cry... perhaps just a fanboy thing
- huhtenberg 18y ago22.6 MB of .Net redistributables will make anyone cry.

- henning 18y agoOK, now let's have someone make a cool screencast so we can easily skip to the "OMG it's full of stars" awe stuff and not have to waste time futzing with silly Microsoft user interfaces.
- volida 18y agowow, it's breath taking the tours are cool!
- tlrobinson 18y agoApparently if you have another installer called "setup.exe" on your desktop when you try installing WWT it actually tries to install that instead. [sigh]Windows[/sigh]
- tlrobinson 18y agoIt's neat, but not that much better than Google Sky. Perhaps slightly better imagery, but I don't see why this would make Scoble cry if he had previously seen Google Sky.
