orinj:haha.
microsoft are stupid, they should have chosen a catchy name for their search, u cant exactly say "let me try living it" or "let me try live searching it"... 
I guess it is not about the name.. it's something beyond that. In my opinion, the interface google uses, and the simplicity they're delivering is the whole story. If you compare GMAIL "al a3da2 " to WINDOWS LIVE MAIL you can clearly understand what am talking about. Everyone likes light, clear, simple applications.. At the moment, you have two versions of windows live mail, the light one - which goes for the simplicity I talked about. I guess Microsoft will take this simplicity in consideration soon.
