The Earth is Square blog offers a preview of NASA World Wind 1.4 with numerous screenshots. From the blog: "While World Wind 1.4 looks really nice, there are bugs that need to be worked out, code yet to be added and then a final bug fixing mad rust before 1.4’s release date (beta release is still said to be the end of the month)."
