No. Sorry. I'm afraid that something will happen with my kumo page. Or maybe I'm just too paranoid?

Snowl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 ok, this will be too hard. if your ok with screwing with the firefox cookie, do this. click on the top one. click remove cookie. refresh live.com. if no effect to live.com happens, delete the next one. rinse and repeat till the kumo like features dissapear. if all of them make the kumo like features dissapear, ms is screwing with us :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/771874-has-anyone-noticed-the-new-livecom/page/3/#findComment-590992654 Share on other sites More sharing options...

strelok1911 Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Ok, some MUID cookie did the trick. I removed it and it went to the old design.

Snowl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Might want to delete that. Microsoft actually uses three different cookies?the Machine Unique ID (MUID), the Windows Live User ID (LiveID), and the Anonymous ID (ANID). (The US military is possibly the only organization more enamored of acronyms than Microsoft.) source Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/771874-has-anyone-noticed-the-new-livecom/page/3/#findComment-590992718 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Yup, i can confirm that the MUID is what is changing you to kumo, screenshot attached. Dont worry, I wont spread the MUID, unless you want to spread it. Pretty wacked. At least, you figured a way into Kumo beta (: Screenshotteh : Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/771874-has-anyone-noticed-the-new-livecom/page/3/#findComment-590992736 Share on other sites More sharing options...
XerXis Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 so, are there any differences in the search results?

Snowl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 so, are there any differences in the search results? That's all I care about :D Nope. Canon camera will come up with the same thing, in both versions. But although, they might be improving it very soon.

strelok1911 Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 So in the end, what this MUID does? Only converting you to Kumo-like Live.com?

Snowl Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I guess microsoft has mistakenly (or purposely) added your MUID to the Kumo beta testing list. Since I got the MUID, and put it over my own, it thought I was you, so I got access to the kumo-like Live.com. I guess the MUID is like, the IP address for this :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/771874-has-anyone-noticed-the-new-livecom/page/3/#findComment-590992820 Share on other sites More sharing options...
th3rEsa Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Aw, I like Live Search. Gonna see how Kumo works when it's "public"; still, better than Google anyway. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/771874-has-anyone-noticed-the-new-livecom/page/3/#findComment-590993210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demgel Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've just entered www.live.com and it redirected me to www.bing.com: Searched some stuff and looks completely the same as Live Search.
