    A friend of mine has an iMac, and he has this thing called OSXPlanet. It's a satellite picture of the earth as a background that updates every minute. Is there one of these for Windows?

    Desktop Earth doesn't seem to use real-live images, does it? Intruiging but not quite the same...

    I'm using the earthview right now. It updates itself at a set interval. To get the live clouds you need a subscription though... I'm going to try the other one. Oh, BTW. Good coordinates for centering it on North America are X 62 Y 40 ***M 100%
