What's with Microsoft re-branding all its products every 1 or 2 years as a sad attempt to re-launch them?
MSN search -> Live Search -> Bing
MSN messenger -> Windows Messenger -> Live Messenger -> what will be next?
Live OneCare -> Microsoft Security Essentials
For goodness sake, either drop these little ventures they are not fully commited to or bring us some REAL innovation and a sustainable product - these are half-arsed attempts and just a waste of resources and time for a product destined to me second tier as usual...
perhaps drop all these sub-products and focus on what they can do best: windows and office.
