Microsoft Moves Into 3D Maps Market

Virtual Earth 3D by Microsoft does provide accurate 3D mapping, but comes in handy only to those with top-notch computers.

Microsoft's Virtual Earth 3D can be used in IE with the help of a plugin. Virtual Earth 3D does require a high-end computer, so be prepared to wait a little longer if your PC configuration is not quite up-to-date.

Microsoft's recommended PC configuration would be Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003, or Vista, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, IE6 or IE7, 250 MB free HDD space, 2.8 GHz CPU, 1 GB of RAM, a 256 MB graphics card, and a broadband Internet connection.

Announcement the SpotlightingNews team Posted on Wednesday January 25th, 2006, 10:00:00 EST
We are sorry to announce that we have decided to temporarily disable the comments system from the SpotlightingNews website.

We noticed our users do like to comment and discuss on certain matters, and we added the comment system as you probably noticed or used it. However, some users have been abusing it by spamming, posting off-topic or starting flame wars.

The comment system on this website was meant to allow users to discuss on the topic, add a personal view to objective stories.

The SpotlightingNews team is currently working on a better comment system that will attempt to increase the overall level of comments.

Meanwhile, you can still have your say through our contact page.


Thank you,
The SpotlightingNews team
