Microsoft Launches Beta Live.com Search Engine

Interesting. "Google-like", is an understatement.

Didn't work for me in Safari. No surprise they don't care if they alienate people. I will never again use Microsoft software, so I won't bother with their websites either.

Its not working for me

Ya it's not working very good. You have to try doing a search several times.

Its incredibly slow. And it has a real crappy way of presenting results.

Google became the biggest because it was the easiest to use by far.

How do they think they are going to beat Google by making it more complicated?

Even its current MSN Search is better.

Very annoying presentation. But the SERPs aren't that bad.

I'm liking the results. I'm several spots up for the same keyword compared to msn.com

Me thinks the serps are a tad spammy in my view.

This "live.com" system instantly finds out about your browser's language preferences but I was surprised to see it doesn't add a geo targeting layer to the mix.

For instance, in my case, it found out I prefer the French language (as fas as my family computer's browser is concerned) but it had no idea I was in America (in the Province of Quebec to be precise) so I was presented with France-based news and information. This information has little value for me.

I guess that's the next thing they'll be working on!

thats an interesting result webzestar... obviously they haven't thought it through properly

Microsoft hasn't thought something through properly?!? Get outta here!
