Have any of you guys downloaded this new toy from MS?

I've been playing with it for a little while. It's freaking mind blowing awesome!

Will this bog down my lap top like Google Earth did when I downloaded the program?

It will make Lap Tops blow up . . .

I haven't noticed any performance issues since I downloaded it -- however, I do use a hi-end graphics computer, so a little program like WWT trying to bog down my computer is no more threatening than Richard Simons trying to beat me up with a balsawood bat.
