11/13/2007: The Virtual Earth features in Aurora are in their final Beta testing now. You can expect to see them in WinTOTAL in the December update!
08/15/2007: We're well on our way to having this implemented within Aurora. You can expect to see Virtual Earth in in WinTOTAL with your October update! For more details, check out the project page on the labs site here.
07/18/2007: Recently, we signed an agreement with Microsoft to incorporate their Virtual Earth platform into WinTOTAL. (You can see it at http://maps.live.com) We're excited about what this means for WinTOTAL. Once implemented, you'll be able to include typical street maps as you do now, but they'll look much crisper and cleaner. In addition, you'll also be able to include aerial imagery, as well as "hybrid" maps (or more plainly put aerial maps with graphical streets overlaid). COOL STUFF!

File Cabinet integration with XSites Desktop
8/1/2008: Coming soon to WinTOTAL, you'll be able to share files back and forth between PCs (like your Tablet PC running DaVinci Mobile Pro) quickly and easily via an integration between WinTOTAL Aurora and the XSites Desktop. For an idea of what's coming, check out the project page on the a la mode labs site by clicking here.
In the image above, you can see how you'll be able to share files with either yourself or other users simply by dragging them into a folder on your Appraisal Desktop!
