Still, it seems nobody cares about any search other than Google. It's not just that Google is the market leader - the others, including Microsoft Live Search, might as well not exist. I wonder what cool stuff Microsoft could come up with if it didn't dedicate so much resources to something as utterly futile as web search.
This is not blatant marketing... If it were, it would be void of anything meaningful
Welcome to Channel 9, Max!

So my goal was to bring some of this stuff to light and hope you all get something out of it. I'm not telling you to use Live over Google. I'll be the first to admit that even though live.com is my homepage (I like the pretty pictures), I often still use Google's search instead. And I'm an avid gmail user.
However, I stand by Live Maps trumping Google's Maps with their birdseye view for instance. And as an added bonus, you guys get to meet some of the people from the team working on these features (Stefan's involved in a lot over there, just not a dev).
Finally, the cost of using one service or another is negligible... only the time it takes you to click and type. So if you watched this and learned something new, then I'm happy with it. If you never ever use it, I'm ok with that too... "marketers" aren't
Keep the comments coming, and I'll keep reading and sharing with the right people.
Channel 9 is not changing. We're trying to expand the types of content we deliver. Have no fear. There is nothing going on wih Channel 9 that will take away from our core principles. We are experimenting with new content. This does NOT mean we are replacing what we know you love and have come to expect from us. That is for certain. My advice is to try and have an open mind and tell us when we are missing the mark. We're adults. We can take the criticism. This is where we go beyond the analogy of Channel 9 (listening in to the cockpit) in that you can actually help us fly the plane.
We will listen and learn. Of that you can be sure. We always have.
Keep on watching,

Hmm - what country are you in? Or more precisely, what country does live.com think you're in?
Cool. I'd have liked to see how it works if there is millions/infinite amount of results as that usually makes scroll wheels unsuitable and standard scroll bar unusable. For this scenario a scroll slider (instead of wheel) similar to zoom controls ranging from say. -64 to +64 and resetting to 0 when released would be a nice to have. There are still common cases where scroll wheel is better. I like the Logitech VS Revolution mouse on paper for incorporating a zoom slider like that in addition to scroll wheel but I haven't got one so I can't tell if it's just a -1,0,+1 (eg. zoom in, do nothing, zoom out) or if it allows more control over the rate of the zoom/scroll action.
Some browsers such as Opera do not render the infinite scrolling correctly. This is a browser issue, and not one with Live Search. Internet Explorer 7+ works perfectly with Live Search, and IE8 takes advantage of the WebSlices in Live Search which is Really Cool!!!
