    Hi all,

    Just found a new search site from Microsoft, Windows Live Search. http://www.live.com

    Just wondering what you all think of it?

    I really like the way you get search results all on one page and they build as you scroll down. But something about the SE doesn't feel right. I know that sounds strange but it just doesn't feel as friendly as google.

    =| It feels like a dodgey flash interface. It would be enormously useful if it was smoother on systems such as laptops with lower resources, etc.

    True - resource hog.
    The scroll-bar doesnt show properl - even when the bar is on top, theres still listings above.

    As usual, looks good though.

    I took one look at it a few months ago and never bothered going back… One day I’ll give it a try but it won’t be today… ;)

    Customisation options are awesome, you can drag and drop sections, change colors, language, content and more from the same page.
    But i have to confess i don't really like all those weird things. I prefer just a plain search engine. like google.
    Neither msn nor yahoo have done that, they are always adding extra stuff, promotion their portals etc.

    I sometimes use this search engine. Most of the time I use it just to check my websites out.
