Microsoft has always had a problem with branding their products (windows/Vista). Their web presence was MSN, then switched to live.com http://news.cnet.com/2100-1038_3-6153879.html . Now live search may become Kumo (http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/11/23/microsoft-...)

It's a pity because MSFT was working on some pretty slick features such as desktop/web photo syncing.

I know this is off topic, but I just compiled nearly 50 interviews with the top SVPs and founders of the major social media companies world wide; Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, etc. for my new book, The Social Media Bible published by John Wiley & Sons. http:www.TheSocialMediaBible.com/download/ They are 30+/- minute podcasts about how each technology is being used for business. I found it really interesting hearing how people and businesses are using these services directly from the source. The book is due out April 20th.
