Goolge Maps vs Microsoft Virtual Earth

Check out the difference here:

1st Ave and Victoria Drive as Google see's it

1st Ave and Victoria Drive as Microsoft see's it

Now for each map, switch over to the Arial/Satellite view.

I also like the fact, that with Google, all I need to do is punch in a Postal Code or Zip code and the map centers on that location.  I cant seem to find this similar functionality with Microsoft's product.

Take a guess which one I will be using?

I typed in 48017 (my zip) in the 'Where' box and it found/centered on that spot on Virtual Earth.

I'll report these bugs. They are working on international support. Sorry for the troubles.
