That is quite incredible. Reminds me of the new movie Deja Vu with Denzel Washington, very similar technology, though a bit more Hollywood than this real world application.

Oh and Microsoft needs to learn how to really hype this stuff up. This technology was cool a couple months ago, but now Google has integrated a technology called "Street View" into Google Maps. If Microsoft did this with their Live Maps, they might actually beat Google to the punch. Live Maps has way better quality of satellite images than Google by far, but Microsoft had this street view like technology before Google and could have really made their technology stand out, but nope. You should check out the Street View in Google Maps, it's a bit limited at the moment in terms of availability, but it's very cool!

Street View is causing an uproar in the privacy industry, and a lawsuit has been files already due to it. :)

People will do anything to file a lawsuit...it is just ridiculous.

Well, Google deserves some of the lawsuits. They snapped a shot of a girl in her truck with her underwear obviously visible. Granted it's her own fault for it being visible, but I'm sure they never asked if she'd like to be on Google Maps. I'm not even sure she's even suing, but the picture was removed and it was all over http://www.digg.com .

nah, I think it's the gal whose house/apartment was pictured....has her cat in the window, or something like that.

Yup, it's cat lady from San Fran. She's horrified her cat's privacy is at stake. No lawsuit yet...I'm betting most lawyers are laughing her our of their offices. Still, I can see the potential for a real lawsuit, soon enough.
