A. No. Any solution that consumes the Virtual Earth platform needs an Internet connection, but that doesn’t mean the Virtual Earth is only for Web applications. There are many instances where the Virtual Earth platform is part of a rich solution or automated process running on a server. Currently the Map Control is only supported running in a Web browser, but the SOAP APIs can be used with virtually any application architecture.
