A Little Bit of Windows Live Confusion

by Jason Bean on June 18th, 2008

There’s a new URL in town and you can get to it by going to http://my.live.com. If you were me, you’d see this when you went there.

my-live-com

That’s all cool, but then I was clicking around in my account and looking at my settings and when I clicked on “Home” (http://home.live.com) I saw this:

home-live-com

Are these both not “Windows Live”? Why the conflicting homepages? This is just confusing. I like the features of the My.Live.com version, but I like the look (the sun, weather, date in the header) of the Home.Live.com version.

Can someone please explain?

    The first one is a start page to fill up with gadget/widgets to play around with.

    The other is to glance at, as an overview of updates on the Windows Live services you use.

    I think they both need to be put together as one.
