Windows Live local is Live!! Check it out at http://local.live.com.

 

New features (delta from the VE beta)

1. Bird's Eye view - this is plain gorgeous. Check out NY, DC, Seattle, Las Vegas and many more cities

2. Custom pushpins - Right click on the map and create a pushpin. Then share it with your friends

3. Driving Directions - Only reason I wasn't using this till now was that VE didnt have integrated directions
