It runs you PC or on the web

Brent, I was running the beta as dog-food when it was going through R&D about 18 months ago. I thought it was pretty awesome. Not sure how much more has changed - maybe I should load it up again. With the economic downturn I'm not sure if any funding got cut on the WWT but it has lots of backing outside of Microsoft, as well.

Brent, That is truly awesome! Thanks for sharing it. I really needed something more to spend hours on!
