I just wanted to point out that the Windows Live user interface is abominable. Specifics:

1) Scrollbar is too slow. Who needs an infinite list anyway? Actually loading that list is eating up all by download bandwidth?

2) Cannot search for terms using standard Firefox 1.0 search.

3) If you disable JavaScript, the whole service breaks down horribly. To see how to do this right, see Google's GMail.

4) Speed. Unbearably slow.

5) Incorrectness. When I click on a result greater than 3, say 5. Upon going back, search results 1-3 are gone! Are you kidding me? There's a new number 1 result!

6. Some users complain that the page is eternally loading without any content. I've gotte n that too running Mozilla on Red Hat. This should not be an OS issue as such, but on Windows, both IE and Firefox work fine.


I'm not going to comment on relevancy issues of the search result because I understand that that is a work in progress.

It is unexcusable that MS could  put up such a lousy product. Just because it works in the local area network does not imply that it works on different browsers and different platforms. Moreover, correctness issues should never occur anywhere. I had a lot of expectation and this is just plain disappointing. As a potential MS employee, you have to wonder where the company is going releasing products like this?
