Live.com (it's worth a try)

Recently I've changed my IE home page over to live.com for me it seems to give more relevant results. Amazingly it seems like Microsoft may actually now have a better search engine than google. It's only missing one big feature for me, the google news page which I periodically glance at during the day, although live will search through news pages it doesn't give me that catagorised list of highlights to look through.
Sadly I still come top of the search rankings for certain terms (such as my laptops brand with Vista) which is a bit weird when you're looking for help (it's happened three times recently) One hidden thing is that although live.com can be limited to look only at certain sites (by adding site:xyz.com) to the search finding this requires a good rummage through the help (It can be found from the contents)

In a similar vein I've now stopped looking at Robert Scobles site http://scobleizer.com/ for my microsoft centric tech news and now use Mike Gunderloys site at http://www.larkware.com/ now this isn't entirely fair as Scoble no longer works for Microsoft but he seems to be trapped in that narrow Silicon Valley Web 2.0 bubble and seems to get less relevant each time I visit his site.

Times they are a changing....
