    live.com update

    Last night we released an update. The key focus of this release has been quality and addressing our top customer pain points, not new features... we've fixed hundreds of bugs, so it's not reasonable to enumerate all of them :) Here are some of the most significant improvements:
     
    Responsiveness
    We have done a lot of work around responsiveness; interacting with the app, clicking on different pages, rss rendering, navigating away from live.com and memory leaks have all been significantly improved.
     
    User flow changes
    Let's start with some definitions:
    Anonymous - users that have never signed in
    Identified - users that have signed in at least once, but are currently not signed in
    Anonymous users are now prompted to sign in after a certain number of changes enabling them to roam their settings.
    For identified users, we now better protect user data from unauthorized changes. Users can view their data without signing in, but will need to sign in to make changes.
     
    Search page changes
    First, the page is much faster. The search box is wider and we're including messaging for key new features. You'll also notice that the Jewel (the drop down in the upper left hand corner) is now available on this page.
     
    New gadgets
    Our partner teams have built some very cool new gadgets that are now included in our directory. Some include:
    - Windows Live Expo: look for listings on Expo using this gadget (click here to add it)
    - Team scores & news by FOX: keep track of your favorite team scores and news (click here to add it)
    - Auto listings: looking for car? find it using the MSN Auto listings gadget (click here to add it)
     
    Direct URLs to personalized page and search
    This has been a popular request by many users. Now you can type beta.search.live.com (soon search.live.com) and go directly to the search page. Similiarly you can type my.live.com and home.live.com and go directly to the personalized page.
     
    Accessibility
    live.com is now accessible including screen reader mode which can be enabled via the 'Options' dialog.
     
    Other
    many many other bug fixes and under hood changes to improve robustness and reliability.
     
    Enjoy! let us know what you think.
