live.com is pretty cool.

Since I’ve been neck-deep in SharePoint these past several months, I haven’t had much good to say about Microsoft.

However, I gotta admit that their live.com maps are pretty damn cool. Especially their bird-eye view, which I’ve noticed has recently been updated to include wide swaths of the Twin Cities that weren’t there before.

It came handy today when my wife and I were chatting about the Container Store down in Edina off of France Ave. I wanted to check online for a few things but then remembered…oh, wait…it’s not called the Container Store anymore.

So, I jump on live.com and actually look at the store:

Oh yea! Storables!

So, yea, I admit it, MS can do some nice stuff too.
