Here's a screenshot of an Outlook 2007 appointment with the Outlook addon for Internet mapping installed.
Since I have the VirtualEarth for local.live.com installed, I can also see my locations in 3D. This is just fantastic!
Ok, perhaps I am lying a bit when I say that this doesn't run inside a browser since it's the IE control hosted in a Windows window but still... it's a .NET application nevertheless.
BTW... here's a blog about VirtualEarth.
You can bet that this type of stuff is what you are going to see in my demos and prototypes for scientific/technical computing applications! Combine this with semantics, knowledge representation, inference, etc. and I'll be living in a Web dreamland. I love my new job 🙂 I am soooooooo excited! 🙂

Ah, lovely Seattle 🙂 I’ve spent around 12 days there in the last few years, and I love the place! I must get into industry one day, and get more involved with cool stuff like this 🙂
It’s a shame I’ve just bought a house and tied myself to living in Leeds for 5 or so years, really. Anyway, you should come over to the NESC booth at SC06 and see how basic our simulation and mapping application (MOSES) is by comparison 🙂
Kalimera! Well, that looks so great! Never been to Seattle – but i am definitely coming over to see you! Since last time we were supposed to meet up in Greece and we didn’t manage, i feel really bad… Anyway, will see you online. A big kiss for a beautiful day!
