Why did street view disappear with Google Earth 6?
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.

Where does Google Earth imagery come from?
Google gets its imagery from a variety of sources such as commercial satellite providers such as DigitalGlobe and GeoEye as well as from government and local agencies. Once the imagery is acquired by Google, it next has to be processed into the format and coordinate system of Google Earth's databases. Then it goes through a quality control process and processing system before getting distributed to the Google Earth database servers. This is one reason you usually do not find any imagery newer than about 6 months in Google Earth.
How much does it cost to download Google Earth 6?
Yes, you can download Google Earth for free. There is also a professional version of Google Earth called Google Earth Pro for business users. That version has some new features (e.g., better printing, advanced import support, etc.) but uses the same imagery so it's generally not worth the annual cost for the casual user.
How long after photos taken for google earth before being put on screen?

Will 'Google Earth 6' Harm your Computer?
Google Earth is a graphics intensive application. If you run Google Earth concurrently with a number of other applications that consume large amounts of memory and/or video driver resources then your computer will run slowly. In some situations running Google Earth in that scenario could lockup/freeze your computer (e.g. Blue-Screen-of-Death) but concurrently running any combination of graphics intensive applications or computer games could in fact crash a computer. Similarly, if you plugin in an air conditioner, power-saw, and HD TV all running on the same outlet in your home then likely you're going to blow a circuit. Same as running applications like Google Earth with other like applications at the same time. If running Google Earth makes things run slowly then you have the option to exit the other applications and run Google Earth alone or install more memory on the computer.
