I honestly cannot find a good reason to use Windows Live Search. This is a case of too little, too late. Google is good enough although it too needs improving, but if there was choice to be made in Search Engines, it had to be them.

My net connection this morning (Thursday) was not good. My hotmail account
was rejecting my login. It does happen sometimes, and I go around
through Google, typing hotmail signin, which takes me there,
and I log in.

Today, things were particularly bad, and every attempt failed. I
finally tried going thru live search, typing 'hotmail.com'
The search threw up a list of irrelevant sites about hotmail,
but no direct link to hotmail.com.
