 MSN likes Google Maps too 
Not only do the folks at Microsoft like Google Maps, they plan to release their own, improved version to be called Virtual Earth. Terra Server was developed by Microsoft with data from various sources, including the USGS, but it has a clumsy interface and many data limitations. With Virtual Earth it looks like MS is being true to form, waiting for a good application to be developed, then trying to improve it to overwhelm the competition. Google will be hard to beat.
