the quality of images depend on the place and service.
I have the best image possible with google.
IMO google has the best service and pics. Most of the sattelite images of MSN are pretty old, older than googles which pics are at least 3 years-old

I think I saw the Nurburgring lol. Took a while, but It really looks like it. Give Google some time, once its not a beta anymore, you will be able to zoom better.
