Yesterday TechCrunch reported Microsoft’s highly anticipated WorldWide Telescope which can be used by astronomers and non-astronomers alike to explore the heavens with a desktop client akin to Google Earth.

But after reading TechCrunch for years I’ve got into a habit of thinking hard on how can the mentioned software monetize on its efforts by giving it away for free to the mass. Yesterday I did the same with Microsoft’s new product. Of course Microsoft WorldWide Telescope is really a very good product which will help millions of astronomy enthusiasts like me to gain access to such a huge data. But when I started thinking on monetization, this what I pictured in my mind.

As one start exploring….

This is how I visualized. I know my idea is weird. There may be several other ways of monetization. This is just one way.  Microsoft will show you other ways of monetization. Keep watchin!…
