well, it is PR but it's pretty interesting, you have to admit.. also, atleast I sign my name to my posts and I never claimed that it was anything other than press... ok I'll move on, besides.. why am I explaining myself to someone called "Anonymous"???. If you want to rag on me go right ahead.. hell, that's what the blog is for, but maybe consider signing your post next time for a little more added credibility. Anyway, moving on here, seeing Earth Pro bundled in a commercial solution is pretty signifigant as many of us have been trying to figure out the business model here.. sureley advertising isn't the only revenue stream.. this is now obvious. Also, seeing Google Earth, maps, and likely Yahoo!, Microsoft and others making a move into the enterprise is very important in our space.
