Virtual Earth is built on an AJAX model, and the API is typically accessed using Javascript. Microsoft have done a good job of documenting Virtual Earth and have included a useful Interactive SDK that provides demonstration code for various activities.
Virtual Earth image data includes road maps, aerial photographs, birdseye (45deg slant view), and 3d. The 3d imagery includes eleveation and 3d building models, but requires the installation of a 3d control. Virtual Earth has the ability to draw shapes, place pushpins, import KML files, display custom tile overlays, shape layers, routing & directions, points of interest. The Javascript API also supports events and callbacks. Recent additions in Virtual Earth v6.2 include the ability to import custom 3d models, and pushpin clustering. Pushpin clustering should prove a very useful way of handling dense pushpin datasets. This causes groups of pushpins to appear as a special "clustered pushpin" symbol when zoomed out. This removes map clutter and improves render times. [...]
