I’ve been busy with the release of Virtual Earth 6 this week exploring the new features and making some videos and articles.
A must read for any VE developer is the what’s new Article I just finished:

I’m very impressed by this release with no breaking changes and many good new features. The VWL site also has the new getting started article from MSDN if you feel like building your first map:

I have also been having fun with the new features on maps.live.com and made two videos (available in 720p High Definition) on the new 3D models that you can make and import into Virtual Earth 3D and also the new 3D tours.
