This is an awsome program, the entire earth has been photographed from space and all the pics have been put together. It shows the globe which you can spin , you zoom all the way down to show your own home. Check it out

Microsoft Windows only?

I thought Google was in competition with MS not in cahoots.

Funny that can't even release a version for the OS that they themselves use.

MSN has this:-

It’s similar but does not yet cover the whole planet and is not as slick as Google earth.

There is also this:-

It's that damned DirectX BS... It's destroying the world! Although Google Earth claims to not require DirectX, so it prolly don't work because Google wants to be just like Microsoft when it grows up.
