It’s been over three months since the launch of Windows Live, Microsoft’s klutzy “Google killer” project. Like Google, Windows Live is offering “personalisation of your homepage”, with news, weather, mail, and (apparently) more.
Apart from the weather service, which recognises that I’m from Melbourne, Australia (not Florida), it’s not really personalisation when none of the available news sources are from Australia, is it? But then again, it’s still in beta, so I guess Microsoft weren’t planning to unleash it on users living in faraway places like Australia just yet.
