Debuting in test form Wednesday, Windows Live Search is Microsoft's latest move in a major strategy shift that has the world's largest software company focusing more heavily on Internet-based software and services.
I've had an opportunity to try some of the Live! stuff, and I have to say the new Live messenger is great... I hated not being able to send offline messages in the older versions like you could in icq and aim. But that's solved, as well as much improved file sharing.
