Live.com updated to include Windows Live Orb Menu

As you have probably already noticed by now, Windows Live.com was updated last night to include the new Windows Live Orb and Orb Menu along with some UI tweaks and performance changes, and though as of yet there’s still no official word from the Windows Live.com Team about this update it’s clear that this updated version of Live.com along with all the other Windows Live Products and Services are starting to see some consistency between them as well as improved changes.

However I’m sure there are still some people out there who are having troubles with Live.com so hey if you’re one of them or you know somebody else who is having problems with Live.com then please let me know in the comments.

Also I would love to hear from people using other browsers other than Internet Explorer, especially if you’re using Safari on a Mac.

Update: The Windows Live Team has announced the changes:

  • Header improvements
  • Consistent look and feel of other properties such as Windows Live Spaces.
  • Improved directory including four new gadgets (Today Show Recipes, MSNBC photo stream, Local News and New Media releases)
  • Consistent settings model
  • 3 New Markets: Korea, Norway and Mexico!

The windows live site is getting better, but it is still to unstable for me to use.

Firefox looks pretty slow, but still looking great!! Great job Windows Live team… I wonder does the search still not working in Safari… or are they going to support it…
