I may have to re-install that game (boo involves booting into windows) I tried it when it was first released, but would be interesting to re-visit given your screenshots. On the Toronto one I'm pretty sure I see my office building :)

the difference is in how these buildings were created -- Microsoft has graphic artists who render 3d models of individual buildings, then just plop the models where it belongs in real life.

google earth is using what looks like feature-extraction from LiDAR data...which means that some cartographic tech is just drawing polygons over a satellite image. the program that then creates the 3d model for google earth has no idea what the sides of the building look like, only the top.
