I would like to have a WL header image.

Johncz check out search engine.The space header was update needed.I like how this search works you share every thing thing you are four or not.And you save every search if you need two.

@CalumJR, part of the confusion is the "Live" label. Maybe thats what "Kumo" is all about.

@geweiss, I'm not sure they plan on including it in a text menu. If you play with the search box (currently Windows Live Home only) you will notice it allows you to search the Web or People. I think they are going to add "Business, category, and/or location" as another search type. Also, Windows Live Maps is integrated with Live People.

@geweiss:

That's because Maps is not a Windows Live service.

It is a Live Search service and you can access it by clicking on Live Search in the Windows Live header :)

It wouldn't make sense for them to include just "Maps" along with Live Search and the rest of the Windows Live services in the Windows Live header.

I like the new Spaces Header. Since we are discussing Headers there has been another thing that has been bothering me and that is where is the link to maps.live.com in the header? When I need a map I normally go to Google’s home page which has a link to maps.google.com right in the header (Second link). I have started to use Windows Live a little more and I like all the new integration that is being done with having a standard header going across the top. The only problem is, I cannot find the link to maps.live.com. I see Home|Profile|People|Mail|Photos|More|MSN but no Maps! Even on the More and MSN pull downs there is no links to Maps. Could someone give me directions (do you like the pun) were to click to be sent to the Maps home page?

It has to be staring me in the face but I just cannot see it.

I just went to maps.live.com and they are nice enough to give a link over to Hotmail in their header.

Finally! This has been annoying me ever since I first saw screenshots of the new Spaces...

gregsedwards, that would make for a more seamless experience. I wish there was an option to disable the Wave 3 "menu" header altogether...especially if you are running Windows Toolbar.

Now if they'd just make the wave 3 themes available to us, we'd be on our way to a decent dovetail with the rest of Windows Live.
