Why should I use Windows Live?

Can someone please tell me why I should use Windows Live? I mean from what I can see it offers a search, news feeds and weather. There seems to be some other options as well, but nothing that makes me want to get excited and proclaim my profound love for it.  Maybe I’m missing something, maybe? I’m not? It was good for looking up a few RSS feeds that I couldn’t find for sites I’ve been looking for. So the search function is kind of good. Also their image search offers you a chance to view content within frames - which is convenient but isn’t that a big no-no? Framing other people’s content has been a big taboo on the ‘net as far as I remember.

I know it’s all about Web 2.0 and I know everyone’s excited about it. Well, most people. I guess I don’t enjoy having to be connected to do everything, and with as many errors I had while surfing the site it was just frustrating.  Yea yea, I know it’s Beta - but still.

Here’s a link to all the goodies they’re offering: Windows Live Ideas

Anyway, if you have something exciting to add to my lovely Windows Live (beta) experience I would LOVE to hear about it. Send me an email or comment. In the meantime, I guess I’ll stick with my good old standby.. MyYahoo. It’s been good to me and it offers nearly everything that I found available on Live.com.
