But I was able to install it on my daughter's computer. The tool looks pretty, though bit heavy for that computer, loading time just killing me! Well, WWT is still beta, but as I know Microsoft has some plans to improve it significantly. For now I still prefer old good WikiSky for their exceptional image quality and much richer referencing tools. Google also has online sky map, but their images quality is quite poor and no reference data at all. I’m in similar situation, WWT doesn’t work on Linux.
