Product Description:

The idea is simple. It's a globe that sits inside your Mac. You point and zoom to anyplace on the planet that you want to explore. Satellite images and local facts zoom into view. Tap into Google search to show local points of interest and facts. Zoom to a specific address to check out an apartment or hotel. View driving directions and even fly along your route. We invite you to try it now.

Have given it a fair run and so far no worries.
I am using a 2.4GHZ iMac Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.4
All my old bookmarks are still there and accurate and, so far, I have had no crash or hang-up.
To be fair, I didn't expect to, as I have had no trouble with Google Earth at all.

Running iMac 3.06GHz - 24". Installed easily, and runs like a dream. Had no problems as previous users have reported. OK, I have only run it through it's paces for about 30 minutes, but smooth scrolling, fast response, accurate. Have rebooted several times and no hanging or crashing.

Crashing a lot - Version: 4.3.7284.3916, 11/4/2008 01:53AM PST

Ditched the beta and went back to 4.2 - The 4.3 does nothing but crash a lot on a souped up MBP. Unacceptable even for a beta. You can get 4.2 in the downloads page still, but they really push the beta on you on the homepage as if it's stable enough for general use or something. It is NOT.
