| | I have used Windows Live Search for that contest that MSN hosted a few months ago (can't remember if it was a year). It works if you have the BETTER keywords to search with, otherwise it doesn't work that well. It is my preferred ALTERNATE search engine (my favourite is Google+Yahoo).
MSN Search doesn't work that well. It doesn't come up with that many results and Yahoo! generally searches better than it. I don't use MSN Search anymore. After all, Windows Live Search will replace it! 
MSN (Microsoft Netowkr) will become WLSN (Windows Live Services Network)  |

MSN Search is now powered by Windows Live Search! See, I told you it would replace it. Anyways, for images, I prefer to use both Google and Windows Live Search. For the web, I'd use Google Search. For everything else, Yahoo! Search, Google Search and Windows live Search.

Although I haven't tried it myself I do know that live search script is public for others to download and use. I know it's a combo of ajax and whatever else they use. Seen a wordpress version for it. http://orderedlist.com/articles/howto-animated-live-search/I seen a couple of others but I would have search deep again to find them, but the concept is still the same. I think yahoo is using a version of it as well.

I've tried live a few times and it works pretty well. I like the clean look (kinda looks like google :] ). I don't like the rest of the page though. It is too hard to find things (took me a few minutes to get used to it). Online portals should be very user-friendly and easy to use. I like google's customizable homepage better than Live's. Microsoft should just get out of the portal business and focus more on their OS and other products. This is Google/Yahoo/Ask's war, not Microsoft's. I like Google the best, and then Yahoo as a distant second (too cluttered homepage).

Note: I am not affiliated with any of the sites below. My favourite search engine is preferably Google, and if like you your second preference or choice is Yahoo, please use: www.magictaxi.co.uk, as they give 50% of their advertising revenue to a chosen charity!! I would appreciate this, becuase it even searches throguh Yahoo, and gives options for a few more services, and even offers an e-mail solution as well. I strongly reccomenned that service!!

A while ago, it was announced that MSN was going to implement Neural Networking technology into their search engine. I had hoped then that Microsoft would finally take the initiative to use cutting-edge technology to come up with something new, for a change. So far, I haven't read anything about Live even considering neural networking. I'm starting to think that it was pure propaganda to lure people back to MSN Search. But I suppose that's irrelevant for the purposes of this topic I've given Live Search a couple of tries, and my experience with it isn't that different from everyone else's. It doesn't provide a wide range of search results, which seems to be caused by infrequent and/or inefficient crawling. And the few results they provide are not all that great, really. So, until something changes, I'm going to have to stick to Google, despite all the dubious actions they've been doing for a while.

Wow, this is windows live search is truly a new low for Microsoft. The UI is horrible - this is just so the live.com team can say they use AJAX without actually implementing it a helpful way. I can't middle click search results to open them in tabs in firefox. I can't use the scroll wheel to go from results 1-7 to results 8-14. They seem to jump from 1-7 to 243-249. Huh? Microsoft thinks it is being clever by putting the scroll bar within the page, but it works worse than a regular browser scroll bar and breaks regular scrolling functionality. This is an incredibly poorly though-out idea. It is slow, slow, slow. The first page loads slowly, the results load slowly, the results scroll slowly. Did I say the search results are irrelevent? I guess I did now.

I've never been inclined to use Windows Live Search, or the search engine MSN provides. Since Google is my homepage I simply use it for all my searching needs. However, since you guys seem pleased with the new features found in the newest version of Windows Live I might look into giving that search engine a try. I used to use Mamma Search Engine untill I realized the search results were much too broad, that's when I started using Google. However, on occasion, ussually when I'm researching something I will use Yahoo, I'm not sure why, the results just seem to be a bit more informative.

Well Live Search is certainly improving...now with xRank! xRank is something to search the popularity of most searched celebrities on the Internet. You can try it out here: http://www.newlivesearch.com/?section=2 . It's still in beta, and I think that I would have no use for that at all  . Also with the above URL, there are "suggested search queries" that help you find "better results". Works for everyone? I don't think so.

Can You Create A Folder Name "con"
Is it possible to create a folder named "CON" in Windows? (18) I tried in both Windows XP Home and Professional. If you try to make a folder named "CON" Windows XP
renames it back to what it was. So creating a new folder with the name "CON" just renames it to "New
Folder". The bug seems like a variable that got treated as a string or vice-versa. Trying to create
the folder from a cmd prompt failed with an error "The directory name is invalid.". This also works
when you try to create a file called "CON", or "CON.". ".CON" shows up the way it should. Somewhere
I found the reason that CON stands for CONsole which is device name but....
