Google Earth is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. For other Windows-only programs, you can potentially get them to run by installing Wine, a series of commonly used Windows libraries implemented in the executable formats specific to Mac OS X and Linux.
Google Earth runs on Mac OS X 10.5.0 or later (Preferably Mac OS X 10.5.2 or later).
Google Maps will run on nearly any OS with a web browser including most mobile phones, tablets, etc.
Google Inc. Usually updates its digital maps yearly, including Google Earth and Google Maps.

A zigzag road is mapped on Google earth or Google maps as a straight line unless zoomed very closely
From Street View in Google Maps while viewing a panorama pressing the letter "t" or the number "3" enables 3D mode.This feature, however, is not yet implemented in Google Earth simply because Google decided to first implement the stereoscopic 3D feature in Google Maps presumably because there is a lot more users of Google Maps than Google Earth. With enough demand the Google Earth developers may add this to a future version of Google Earth.
The best place to go regarding any sort of information on Google Earth and the Maps Gallery is the official Google Earth website. The website covers everything to do with Google Earth etc.
There are some strange things you can find on the high resolution satellite and StreetView imagery available in Google Maps and Google Earth. The Google Earth Community (GEC), Google Earth Blog, and Google Earth Hacks are probably the best web sites to visit to see what other users have found in Google Earth/Maps.

Google Earth has a Mars planet mode, but Google Maps does not have such a feature. You need to download Google Earth to explorer Mars in 3-D with high-resolution imagery.
Google has documented how to share data from Google Maps to Google Earth - see related link below.Until recently Google Maps had an undocumented feature that by adding "&output=kml" to the Link as seen in Google Maps would generate KML to launch that view in Google Earth. However, that feature has been removed and you can't do that any more.It's easy to switch from Google Earth to Google Maps - just check the "View in Google Maps" option found in the File menu of Google Earth.
Google Earth and Google Maps are great tools to view high-resolution satellite imagery of the Earth.
