Windows Live is...ALIVE!

Finally, after less than a year on Beta testing, Windows Live is...live.

"Microsoft said its new online search portal will feature an improved user interface designed to fetch more accurate Web search results than the beta version had provided.

In addition, Live Search will now power search on MSN, although some people may not notice the difference at first. Live Local Search was also released from beta, but only in the U.S. and U.K. so far. The changes are all part of Microsoft's new set of internet services and software ." - CNET

What's good about it is that it lets you search for images, videos, blogs and RSS feeds using one search portal which makes search more simplified. It also allows the user to search a term in context of a previous search term used.

It also allows the user to search within the destination site without using the site's search function .

This is a great start, who knows what improvements they might come up with next.
