    What is the problem of Windows Live?

    We're living in United Nation

        As lots of live addicted like me, we don't understand why Microsoft need to do such ignoring and useless region control / detection at the end users, especially the beta testing that requires United States. I have no idea why I need to living in United State to use those software. I am willing to give feedback on the product, I am willing to do any survey, I am will to have a risk that the beta software may "trash" my computer. Why don't get me the software? I am very sad about that.

    I think Microsoft should respect the people that living in overseas, people love your company's product! Don't say to me because the language not yet localized, "blah, blah, blah!". Remember that Internet don't have barriers between nations. It is the biggest United Nation that human never have which can access in anywhere, anytime in a nano second.

    Focus on ourselves!

         When installing a Windows Live App on the computer there always have a option that suggest you to set your Internet Explorer homepage to MSN Home...... I think that is meaning less and just make end users more "headache". They took away all MSN services to Windows Live and running a Live.com but asking the users set the Internet Explorer Homepage to MSN Home...... How ridiculous is that!

    Ya, two brand is a pain, but it is great when you use it "right"! Microsoft should use there cash to put an AD on TV tell everyone Microsoft Online Services a group of Windows Live Services and MSN content, tell everyone!

    Today, I'm "A", tomorrow I'm "Z"

         Everyone is curious about how Microsoft naming their Windows Live Product, Windows Live Search? Wrong! it's called Live Search! Live Messenger? Wrong! it is Windows Live Messenger! Live.com? Humm.... We can call it Live.com or Windows Live.com! The greatest example is Windows Live Local/Map/MSN VE/mappoint/MS VE????? WTF?

    Until today, I still don't understand why Microsoft tries to show more different brands to end users... It shows me Windows Live is a mess. Sorry developers, it's not your fault... I am going to hit the guy who respond to marketing!

     

    Actually I can see the reason why Microsoft Online Services is struggling to survive behind Google and Yahoo! I can see Windows Live is live search registertrying, but be honest is not hard enough! Give me something that Xbox 360 showed me! Kicks PS3's and Wii's Ass!

     What Microsoft should do is sharing the profit that they generate from users! I see a very good start and future on Microsoft adCenter and I noted there is a profit customize search on "The Register".
