Windows Live Local have released a new update… 3D maps!  To access the beta 3D maps, go to http://local.live.com, then download and install Virtual Earth 3D (beta).  Currently the 3D imagery only covers 15 US cities, but they are quite impressive.  I love the textures on the buildings, a little better than the simple grey boxes I have seen represent buildings when using Google Earth.

See screenshots below of the Seattle Spaceneedle, and one of my favourite cities in all of the US, Boston.
