Windows Live Search goes Live

novus ordo writes "Microsoft has launched the Windows Live Search. Among the reports, Microsoft Search Senior Product Manager, Justin Osmer says that "The beta, and a revision expected in a few months, will challenge market leader Google."" I like the more dynamic image searching tool. It seems really slow- I'm not sure if that's the dynamicness (is that a word?) or just standard launch lag.

So in other words if I plug in www.live.com to get to the Live homepage I have to click on things to clear everything out compared to plugging in www.google.com and looking at an almost uncluttered page?

If this is Microsofts idea of competing with a simple idea, they have, not unsurprisingly, not understood what the word simplicity means.

Besides, if the settings I perform on the Live page are kept as a cookie on my machine I'd have to reset everything the next time I go back since I always clear my cookies at the end of every surfing session.
