Google Earth makes available older imagery via the 'Historical Imagery' option found in View menu.
Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan has been confirmed and its location has been posted to several Google Earth forums. While Google Earth had imagery for that area from 2005, GeoEye has made available imagery that was taken the very next day (May 2, 2011). Usually imagery takes many months before new imagery comes online.DigitalGlobe has also posted imagery for that area from earlier in 2011. This imagery can be viewed via DigitalGlobe's Flickr account, or by loading a KML file posted at ogle earth. Later that week, Google quickly released high-quality imagery for this area from May 2010. Also, several 3D models of the compound were made available in the Google 3D Warehouse and one was selected in Google Earth - need 3D Buildings layer checked to see it.See related links below.
Here is one of Google's announcements of ending Street View support for Google Earth versions 5.x and older. "With the most recent update to Google Earth (6.2), we are also finalizing our transition to a new method of delivering Street View imagery in Google Earth. This means, that the older versions of Google Earth (anything before 6.0) will no longer be able to access Street View. We held off making this change until now, when the vast majority of Google Earth users are on 6.0 (or later)." -- Google Jan 2012. Basically, Google decided to improve the Street View interfaces which would be implemented in the current versions of Google Earth for desktop and mobile platforms rather than keep supporting the older (less efficient) method of accessing Street View.
Google Earth may be downloaded for free on the official homepage. It is available for use for free through Google's website. One may access the application and use it as much as they wish for free.
Google providers a data error reporting form (via website) to submit corrections to google's imagery, street names, directions, and so forth. By far the easiest way to provide updated information is through the new Google Map Maker tool. This allows you to directly move addresses to the correct location, change type of marker, etc. Submissions get reviewed and if approved get pushed back out to Google Earth and Google Maps.
Google provides a COM interface for Dot-Net or VB apps but there is not a lot of documentation and its for advanced users. See related links for documentation and developers forum. Note that the Google Earth COM API is being phased out in favor of the new JavaScript API that was released in 2008 along side the Google Earth Plug-in.
If you visit the Explore Google Earth web page (see related link below) just move your mouse over each of the images to a start a short video highlighting that feature including Ocean, 3D Imagery, Sky, Trees, Street View, Mars, and Moon. There are also many videos of Google Earth posted on YouTube.
If you have access to or download Google Earth - you can get a detailed route including the junctions and turns you need to take !

Usually several months after imagery is taken before it is available on Google Earth. It takes months of post-processing to incorporate new imagery into the Google Earth database. For that reason you almost never see imagery newer than 6 months old.
