Kind of late.

Windows Live Gallery

Where is this site going? It’s not listed on Windows Live anywhere, and it’s not getting updated, but all the Windows Live Spaces modules are from here.

Web Activities

A really great idea, and yet there’s a pitiful amount of activities of add. FriendFeed is wiping the floor with Windows Live. FriendFeed has over 20 different activities. Windows Live has a whopping 8. Where are the updates?

Kumo / Windows Live / Live Search Fiasco

So apparently they didn’t plan their online approach to well, and now they’re going to rebrand Live Search as Kumo. Just when everybody is really familiarized with Live Search.

Windows Live Spaces

A service with great potential, and as usual, no updates and a major lack of features. It has ugly themes. Since Windows Live obviously doesn’t like spending time developing themes, why not let users do it? It also has a slow module browser and a lack of features. Pretty much every other blogging service has more features.

Slow

I don’t know if this happens to other people, but when I switch between Windows Live services, say, Hotmail and Spaces, I get led to a blank intermediate page, where I frequently have to wait 3 seconds while it redirects.

Unintuitive Settings Pages

Editing settings on Windows Live is frequently like navigating a maze. Everything seems to be on a different page, and pretty soon you’re lost.

Lack of Privacy Settings

Not enough settings. Not organized well.

Lack of Modules

I guess they can’t do much about this one. But I will probably create a module soon – probably just a blog search module, but less ugly than the current one which has a scroll bar and 50+ different radio buttons.

Hotmail Is Still Slow

Or at least it feels slower than Gmail, despite the speed increase.
