   I asssume this was live.com is the same as start.com

   I don’t see the value here, anyone can create a javascript tree menu and ajax nowadays. What happened to innovation at Microsoft?

   Agreed but this does have some potential when looking at their free apps.

   Unfortunately, the failed to offer everything under one global sign-in. Why do I need to sign-up for each service seperately? What ever happened to passport?

   one more thing…why is this even related to Office? This isn’t office, this is nothing more than a next-gen portal play.

   Q: How do you spot an AJAX application?
   A: Try using the Back/Forward Button..

   Yeah, the search uses ajax but it doesn’t really gain much by being in ajax. The back button works but then you can’t go forward back to the search results also you can’t bookmark or share the search url.

   WTF is this? A joke? It doesn’t even display well on IE and looks like the pre-alpha version of start.com.
