If something isn't broke, don't fix it. But someone within live.com at Microsoft thinks that it would be "better" if we visited my.live.com for the personalized portal rather than www.live.com.
Did the person or team responsible for this stop to think that typing "live" in the address bar and pressing Ctrl+Enter drops you onto your personalized page? Well it doesn't any more. Instead, www.live.com renders a horribly designed, full-screen search UI and effectively hides the link to the personalized page in the last place you'd look ... the lower right-hand corner. Let's not even mention that the need for the graphic hides that personalized link off of the page if your browser window is too small.
No, now I must visit my.live.com for my personalized experience. To shorten the keystrokes, I can type "my.live" and press Ctrl+Enter, but it's a very unnatural act.
Please, get rid of my.live.com and bring back personalized live.com.
