RSSWindows Live Search to Replace MSN
by BetaNews Staff
Windows Live Search will be brought out of beta this summer, Microsoft has said. The change would put the site as the company's flagship search engine, replacing MSN Search, marking the official beginning of a transition to the Windows Live branding. That effort is expected to continue throughout the rest of this year.
Additionally, Microsoft on Friday launched yet another Live service, Windows Live Product Search. The offering is intended to help users search for products for sale online. According to the Web site, the service indexes items from over 100,000 sellers. Users would be able to refine searches by related terms, brands or sellers, as well as change the level of detail of the results.

I would love to offer an opinion but being a "newbie" to the website and the meaning therefore, I'm holding my opinion, but looking forward to reading others.
Thanks!

The only thing redeeming about Microsoft's live service is the image search system and the only thing redeeming about that is the never ending scrollbar.

I tried MSN search and had to go back to google because of the pathetic search results.
I am now trying Live search along with the usual Google and must say, it looks promising.
MS finally looks like it is getting back on track and those billions are starting to show results...

I have tried this and it seems to be a step up from their old search engine. You can personlize the search page much like you can with Google. Looks like they are copying Google's products and then bundling the new search into IE7 which should take a bite out of Google's wallet. Maybe Google's complaint isn't bs after all...

Live Messenger almost has the quality of a final product already, but the same thing cannot be said to Live Mail.
Where is my signature option???
