Header Change
The new header provides a cleaner, more streamlined look to the page, along with links to Hotmail, Spaces, OneCare, and other MSN services, all from your My.Live.com homepage.

Usability Improvements
Based on usability studies and feedback from you, we've added a confirmation prompt to prevent accidental deletions of gadgets and feeds, renamed "Add Stuff" to "Add Content" and increased the visibility of the link, changed "Edit" to "Customize" in the gadget chrome and added more space between the Customize link and the delete gadget "X" icon.

IE 8.0 and FireFox 3.0 Support
My.Live.com now supports the Beta for IE 8.0 and the final version of FF 3.0.  Users will now be able to access their pages and feeds using these browsers.

Add Content Directory Updates
Check out the Add Content directory for new feeds and gadgets.  The updates are part of our on-going effort to ensure quality content, provide better organization, eliminate dead feeds and redundancies.

New items include the full line-up of content from Xbox.com, selections from Office Online, MSN Video, WeatherBug, and more!

Minor Bugs and Glitches Fixed
As part of our switch to My.Live.com, embarrassingly, we forgot to change some of the wording on the site to reflect our new name!  That's been fixed, along with some minor quarks and hiccups that have been reported.

Suggestions and Feedback Forum
Because you asked for it, we've created a My.Live.com Suggestions and Feedback forum on Microsoft.com Forums.  This forum will provide users with a way to interact with our development team by telling us what you think, ask questions, and provide your suggestions for what you think will make My.Live.com better.   Access the forum at http://forums.community.microsoft.com/en/MyLiveCom/threads/.

What's Next?
We'll start planning for our next update to My.Live.com, aiming for a minor update in the Fall.  Right now, most of our time is being devoted to another project that we'll have more information about in the coming months.  Until then, we hope you like the changes, and look forward to reading your feedback in our new forum.

We're going to continue with the clean up for a few more days but to give us time and a chance to recover from the task, we'll be turning off comments for at least a couple days.  
 
We love hearing your feedback, but spending an hour or two a day cleaning up junk messages isn't our idea of time well spent. 
 
Thanks for your understanding,

Updated Directory
While you are on your personalized page, check out the new Directory items under the Add Stuff link.  We've reorganized and added new feeds from a wider variety of business, technology, and entertainment sources.  In addition, new collections have been added to the Windows Live > Collections folder for Business, Technology, and US Politics.

We're very happy to announce an update that will provide increased performance for returning users.  Changes to our backend infrastructure will provide returning users with faster feed and gadget load times.
 
Changes on the horizon...
We know it's been awhile but since February, the new My.Live.com team has been working diligently on some big projects and we've just started our third development sprint.  That's all we can say right now, but more information will be available in the next few months.
 
So get ready and check in often - we're back and it's full steam ahead for the new My.Live.com team!
