Now that OSXPlanet is Leopard-compatible, you don't need to spend your money on EarthDesk. OSXP does more and looks nicer. It's in beta. So, the settings are a bit confusing but give it a try.

Keeps on showing old cloud formations with boring regularity. Never used to do this. Is 4.0 better in this respect?

Can't recommend if it stays this buggy.

EarthDesk ReviewWhy buy Earthdesk??? - Version: 4.0.3, 2/23/2007 11:22AM PST

I've been a registered user of Earthdesk since v2.6 and upgraded at v3.0. However, I cannot justify to myself buying an upgrade to 4.0 when I am not getting any more functionality.

So I have sadly switched over to OSXPlanet, and I haven't regretted it at all. In fact, it's very good, and I haven't missed Earthdesk at all.
