I really liked that aussie site. The live Life site was very slick too. The whole orange theme was strangly soothing.

It's also interesting how the Aussies explain the Windows Live brand. They seem to already be leaving out the "Windows-" part, like what Microsoft seems to be planning here. The domain itself goes with their theme of "Live Life."

Aw shucks, thanks Kip :)

Underwhelming.

Seriously, do they think adding something that's been on http://my.msn.com/ for eons and AJAXifying it is going to bring more users or create a larger viewing audience?

It's like releasing Wheel 2.0, now with more rubber!

Thanks for the link guys. I was wondering why I had so many views today. :^)

I personally don't like this update much. Instead of adding more content, how about cleaning up a lot of the clutter? Tabbed boxes to do headlines of different topics? And other stuff needs to be taken down. They should do a new version the way Yahoo.com did, and clean up the content displayed and make it look nice and smooth.

Of all the international MSN pages I've seen, I like the Aussie one best. Smooth look, and neat use of AJAX : http://ninemsn.com.au/

Just to reiterate Kip's edit above, and lbastie's well informed comment, this is not the major update that Mini-Microsoft was alluding to.

I don't see why they don't make the banner at the top more like the MSN UK one. The one on MSN.com v11 is the same as the current one & boring. The MSN UK has a lighter & better blue & even the ability to put images in it...

Unimpressive.

It is just the same page as in the one in the UK, already in place for more than a year. The definitive new msn look will arrive with v12, ath the end of 2008.

Do not worry.

Messenger tab just has a link to http://get.live.com/messenger ... useless as pointed out by Michael at MSFT and the Future...
