Here's my comparison of Deep Zoom to existing quadtree based zooming technologies like Google Maps, Zoomify, etc. http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2008/03/21/why-silverlight-2-deep-zoom-really-is-something-new.aspx
Summary - the technology isn't new, but they've made it trivially easy for a developer to do things that would otherwise take a lot of work, e.g. build complex collections of images across a wide variety of resolutions, add custom events and controls within a multiscale image, etc.
