A more harsh review of Live Local. I agree with the assessment that the tiling isn't great, and I find the whole rotation thing very disorienting, but I think its a bit much to write off the birds-eye view as a gimmick.
All in all, Windows Live Local does add some nice features (and even works inFirefox, albeit slowly), but Microsoft's big selling point, the 45-degree bird's eye view, though fun to play and surf landmarks with, is little more than a gimmick.
Windows Live Local launches: 45-degree view not especially useful
