I just stumbled upon this right now, and it is by far the coolest thing on the web I’ve seen in some time. Microsoft’s new Live search. I think this might be correlated with Microsoft trying to patent their conjugating verb system. Anyways, go check it out, it’s awesome. One of my favorite features definitely is the new resizable image search. It even has a feature to grab all of your pictures into a scratchpad collection.

Of course I can’t leave out the ridiculously cool local system that seems a step above any other mapping system I’ve seen. It includes traffic, driving directions, and my favorite features by far, aerial mode and bird’s eye view. Want to zoom in? Double click! The interface is extremely simple, one click drag, double click zoom. There are a ton of features with local alone I’m extremely suprised how detailed it is.

The actual Microsoft Live logo in the top left hand corner has a submenu with even more features, including a safety center, shopping, and expo - very similar to Craigslist. Windows Live shopping has a very clean and easy to use interface.

Microsoft Windows Live login system works with Windows Live ID, and is compatible with MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, or Passport accounts.
