Wow! Did they put OS X as the first choice? Or is it one of those things where it knows what OS you’re running? If not, then that’s neat.
Also it is worth noting that Google Earth Pro is also available as a Universal Binary now.
Google Earth 4.0 beta is a universal binary. Now it runs snappy and boots right up without that nasty Rosetta delay.
This is why it’s cool that Macs are now selling like mad. It makes more cool stuff like this come!
OzzysCross101: It’s scripted that way, Windows 2000/XP is listed first from my work machine.
Its one of those things that knows what OS you’re running. On Windows it puts the Windows version first.
“controls that fade when not in use”
hmmm does that sound familier to anybody else?

i just wish there were better maps of Sweden, France and Germany.
MIne has no “Layers” panel!
I had to delete the preferences for the application, then everything worked fine.
Still no Google Earth Pro for Mac? I want GPS support already!
A close-up of my address shows a guy that looks like me shackled at the ankles, holding a gun in one hand, pants around his ankles, hair on fire, and a tub of some obviously nasty discount margarine in the other hand. No way. I’ve always used the best butter.
Kelso, there is a Mac version of Google Earth Pro now available (Universal Binary, too!): http://registration.keyhole.com/choice_kh_initial.html
Google’s servers sure are slow. The download rate was 25k/s on a fiber-optic line. Sheesh…

Fantastic application. Runs like a beaut on my MBP…clever, very clever, Google.
Like to see how much capacity an app like this would use up on VISTA. With OSX it clocks along nicely with iTunes, iCal, Mail, NoteTaker, Preview, iPhoto and Dreamweaver (under Rosetta) all going just fine…and -until the new memory arrives- only 512k RAM and after 4 days 20 hours 22 minutes of intensive use too.
Why does anyone ever want to go near Windows????
