New Radar Maps at Weather.com

I just noticed today the new radar weather maps at weather.com. Until recently, they provided the standard old-school looking radar maps, with a few different sizes available -- but no ability to zoom in on any map. These are still available, but today I noticed that the default weather map now was based on the Microsoft Virtual Earth system. It seems they just overlay the radar/weather data over the Microsoft maps data (I'm sure its more complicated than that, but you get the idea). One benefit of this is the abilty to zoom in and zoom out pretty nicely. You can't zoom all the way down to street or house level and still have the radar/weather data showing up. But you can certainly zoom in farther than before, and you get all the street info and so on that the Microsoft maps give you. Really cool in my opinion!

See this example for Rochester, NY. Scroll down the page to see the map, then click the red button in the top left corner of the map to be able to zoom in and zoom out, as well as move east/west, north/south too.
