Rudy Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Looks similar to what it looked like last time I went....but that was a long time ago so I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inklin Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 looks the same as it has done for the past 6 months or so to me :s doubt anything would change until Kumo is launched, it would be pointless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strelok1911 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 What the hell? It looks like this for me: The thingy where you select what you wanna search has been redesigned. Plus the background is now gray. And here's a search results page: WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strelok1911 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 looks like this here: WTF? Do I have some secret beta version or something? Rudy, can you switch to US and tell me how it looks? Thanks I swear that the pics aren't fake. I can also make a video and show proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can also make a video and show proof. I get the page you're getting when I switch to US. To me it looks like an promotion/advertisement and not a redesign (like the link at the top left that takes you there: http://farecast.live.com/deals/weekend-dea...s.do?cid=11018) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I swear that the pics aren't fake. I can also make a video and show proof. I get the same background picture as you when I changed it to U.S. But I don't get the same menu as you though. Overall, it looks the same as the local one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the tour thingy takes me to a tour, the msn link takes me to msn.com, the windows live takes me to home.live.com and the others take me to where they suppose to take me. So, wtf is happening to my Live.com?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strelok1911 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 Ok, an update! I went to the laptop (same IP though) and went to live.com It showed the old format. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calum Veteran Posted May 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2009 That looks exactly like Kumo, except it has the Live Search logo. That is odd! Do you happen to know if it has some of the new features of Kumo, or just the design? Maybe they're testing it out on the servers they use for the public... I can't think of any other reason :p If I change my market to the United States, it's exactly the same as my current Live Search (even with the blue header), I just have the same background picture as your 'Kumo' type Live Search...

thevink Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Maybe something to do with using IE8 instead of Firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried it in any other browser. This is just the normal Live Search how it shows in the US. It's been like this for around a year - maybe a little bit more or less.

Sean B. Veteran Posted May 14, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2009 What the hell?It looks like this for me: The thingy where you select what you wanna search has been redesigned. Plus the background is now gray. And here's a search results page: WTF? That does indeed resemble the Kumo beta. I'm using IE8 and my region is set to the U.S. and I'm not getting that design. I've pinged some folks at Microsoft to see what's up with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strelok1911 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm pretty sure if I reset the browser cookies and temp internet files, the live.com layout will be the same old one. It might be a sort of glitch that I caught lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
