Windows Live Spaces

[blobrana]

Tonight Microsoft will announce the launch of Windows Live Spaces, a blogging and social networking site on the Live.com platform.
As Microsoft phases out the MSN brand in favour of Live.com, they’ve moved services over one at a time to the new platform. Unlike Windows Live Messenger, though, which runs in parallel with MSN Messenger, Live Spaces is taking over MSN Spaces completely - MSN Spaces pages now redirect to Live Spaces URLs.

Hum,
Slow with firefox too...

Here is a link i found...(Live Spaces doesn`t need no stinking JavaScript)

A JavaScript benchmark tool tested Opera 9.0, MSIE 6.0, and Firefox 1.5 and found that Opera came out top.

Browser            Average Time (ms)
Firefox 1.5                    1974
Internet Explorer 6 (SP2)    1622
Firefox 1.5 (Safe mode)    1752
Opera 9.0                     442

Opera 9.0 is more than 3.5 times faster than all of the other competing browsers.

Microsoft's Aug. 1 launch of its Windows Live Spaces blogging/social-networking platform has not been a smooth one.

Customers of Microsoft's successor to MSN Spaces are reporting a variety of performance, publishing, rendering and browser-compatibility issues since Microsoft rolled out the final version of Windows Live Spaces on Aug. 1.
Windows Live Spaces Program Manager Greg Phipps acknowledged on the Space Craft Live Spaces blog that the Spaces team "disappointed a bunch of you with the issues we had in our rollout last night."
Phipps noted that in the first 12 hours that the new platform went live, poor Spaces performance was the order of the day.
