Finally! More high-res photo's for maps.live.com

I whine about the quality of the aerial images in Live Search Maps a*lot, but it looks like my whining days are over, because they apparently updated the database for several areas, among which the one I'm in. Apparently, the maps for The Netherlands and Belgium are now accurate to 50 centimeters.

 

I've always preferred Live's map-interface over Google's, but I just couldn't use it because of the terrible image quality for the area I required. Fortunately, it's now gone from awful:
