Windows Live.com :- Review Update

Microsoft's Live.com got a page refresh today. To get the best experience for now, check live.com in Internet Explorer rather then Firefox. I like the new interface. It can be as plain as the image below

or you can put different things as an example below.

I like the neat,plain and simple search box at the top. We can just search in a term and hit enter and it will open up a window as shown below.

The beauty of this page is you can just hit "Esc." on your keyboard and the page will disappear. Other prominent feature is the search result page will have few tabs. I don't see images tab, but I think it is supposed to be there as well. But the tabs that I can see are 'Web', 'News','Feed', and "Find Macros" option. You can both add the search result to Live.com personalised home page or even add feeds to your home page. The slider on the side as marked on the image above, shows that you can just scroll using your mouse or arrow key and the page will scroll down. You don't have to click on page no. as you have to do with most other search engines. With add on modules, I have the conveniency to check my Windows Live email straight from the Live.com personalised home page.

Live.com has a feature where you can add more then one page to your personalised set of pages. You can add different modules/feeds/search results on different page and have the conveniency to change the names of the pages on the fly. Just click it!

Settings menu is very convenient and offers few color customisations to suit different tastes. This includes few language options. To the home page you can add news and blog feeds from the pre selected list or add your own. You can also add cutomised modules by visiting www.microsoftgadgets.com website. The modules ranges from fun to productive modules to modules for getting Gmail updates on Live.com personlised page.

Most importantly the search function seems to have improved with many important enhancements that they have made. Before when I thought of search Google, then Yahoo is what came to my mind but how I think I will make sure I visit Live.com before giving it up. I think Microsoft can definately work on improving the performance of the site to give users a more better experience. One minor problem I have seen is The world clock module is not showing me the Day Light Saving time, so it shows me time one hour back when I check the time for Melbourne, thought Microsoft might want to fix that or someone involved ;). Will have to keep an eye in the coming future.
