[edit] Reception

The reception section is biased. It needs to be reworked or researched for an alternative for 'reception'--67.166.110.86 (talk) 19:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Odd concept of resolution

I noticed this in the article: "with a resolution to 100,000 feet above sea level." That doesn't exactly mean anything, it only tells (I assume) the satellite took the pictures from an altitude of ~30,5km. Could someone find the actual meters/pixel resolution for the imagery? --piksi (talk) 12:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Issues

The issues is just a drive-by attack. The section and statement should be removed.

It is based on this posted in the forum of the citation link;

"redxeth at 09:00 PM on 05/13/08 Reply by Email * @redxeth-- figured it out. Be sure to delete setup.exe from your Download directory-- apparently the setupwwt.exe is expanded into setup.exe.

This *is* beta software, and you can download the isntall to places *other* than the directory he chose -- this is just ridiculous to be included. Is that really an "issue" with WWT?

Well if you don't include it, people may waste several hours trying to install this excellent software. I was unable to install it until I found the solution on this forum. This is a very minor issue. but it can give you a big headache if you do not know the solution.Mohit Agarwal (talk) 21:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
I think this is non-notable for an encyclopedia especially when the product is a beta version. Has anyone who discovered this bug reported it to Microsoft? It does not even have a citation. - xpclient talk 21:29, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
