PTGui for stitching multi-row panos and making 360x180 interactive panoramas. The software works really well. You might also take a look at Autopano Pro.
Cool vertical pano Mr645. Looks like CS5 did a good job. I'll be doing mostly panos wider than 35mm, so that is good info. I was able to find my old PTgui registration number in a saved email from a couple years ago, but I had to pay to redownload it on my laptop because it had been so long. At least I have the new version now and should be able to install it on a potential future desktop. On a side note, spent an hour looking for my tripod this afternoon, not where I thought it was. No idea where it is. My wife thinks I have an organizational problem.

Tried PTGui, the version I tried required a lot of manual work. If I remember right.
Here's an indoor pano done using CS3 (resized only in CS4). Handheld, using a wideangle so most things done wrong. The same guy with a luggage card appears three times in this picture.
I use 5D, Siggy 12-24 or Canon 17-40 set at 17mm for my exteriors with a Nodal Ninja 3 pano head.
Absoloutly no issues with stitching, I shoot 17 images with a bracket of 3 in landscape mode. Portrait mode I do the same.
For my Real Estate internals I use a Siggy 8mm with 4 images with a bracket of 3 for full 360x180.
Stitching using CS5 doesn't give you the accurate, "No Fuss" alignment of PT and Auto Pano for VTs.
Auto Pano is good for landscapes, especially with a lot of tree movement but PT is far superior for Real Estate photography where you want straight and aligned verticals.
