I think this is a good time to change this forum name from Microsoft to Live. They've earned it. Search is so important that they are investing a lot to give better results. Because search is and will be the main form of access to information on the web. They couldn't buy Yahoo so they have to do it for themselves.
And Google is any better? Windows Live sounds fine by me. It cross connects the Xbox platform, is catchy, and is easy to remember. Also, I think they should leave it as Microsoft since what about MSN (which technically is Live anyhow)?
Windows is just the name of an operating system. With cloud computing operating systems are not so important, you just need a browser to access to it.
Well, it's filed under search engines so I suppose it'd be appropriate to rename it. Or at least call it Microsoft/Live.
Well, Google and Yahoo sound strange on the first place. Windows Live sounds to normal maybe That's why some people could not live with it
Investing a lot of time spamming us with fake referrals and ruining our stats logs. 95% of the people who think they are actually getting Live traffic are just getting fake referrals. They haven't earned anything IMO. But yes, the forum should be renamed.
