Change home.live.com in to www.live.com

Submitted by martijnsch on August 12, 2009 to Annoyance

www.live.com is linking now to www.bing.com. This is illogical.
(Live Search was renamed to Bing)

Set www.live.com as Windows Live Home.
Or link www.live.com to home.live.com .

I do not think this is illogical as live.com used to go to the Windows Live Search Engine but as that is now "Bing" it should redirect to Bing.

People have old devices and shortcuts and homepages that used to use the live.com search engine. It may have been a poor decision to dedicate the brand to their search engine, but they're stuck with it for now. It needs to continue redirecting to its replacement, Bing.

Not that many people use Windows Live, so it's a secondary concern for now.

Ok, www.live.com says:

"Your access to the Bing homepage from live.com will stop soon. To avoid interruptions, please start using www.bing.com"

http://www.bing.com/?fdr=lc

"The Bing homepage has moved from www.live.com to www.bing.com.

Remember, when you want to go to Bing, type www.bing.com.
Thanks for using Bing!"
