Windows Live Shopping was a shopping website, part of Microsoft's Windows Live range of services. It was built on AJAX technology, and was fully customisable. It featured products from many online stores, and allowed users to compare items and prices. Windows Live Shopping is now rebranded as MSN Shopping.
[edit] MSN Shopping
As of February 20, 2007, Windows Live Shopping beta has been officially rebranded as MSN Shopping. Part of the reason for this decision is to reduce the number of shopping services Mircosoft currently offer, which includes MSN Shopping, Windows Live Expo and Windows Live Search Products.
According to Microsoft's spokesperson:[1]
"Windows Live Shopping Beta was launched as a technology showcase that paired the vast selection of MSN Shopping with some of the user interface enhancements provided by Windows Live services – Live gadgets, drag and drop, dynamic pages, etc. This test enabled the shopping team to glean valuable insight into user behavior. These learnings are being incorporated into plans for future products. User-created content from Windows Live Shopping Beta (lists, guides, and reviews) will continue to be available on MSN Shopping."
As a result of this rebranding, Windows Live Shopping Guides, which was part of Windows Live Shopping, has been discontinued and may possibly be merged with MSN Shopping in the future.
