look, with colors and headers resembling the new Windows Live header that has been
discussed by Liveside

Since Windows Live got updated to Wave 3, we saw Microsoft expanding into the field of Social Networking. It introduced the concept of Profiles,
where you are able to show off what you want to show to others, and also the Whats New feed which shows you what others want to show you. Every user
using Windows Live, including all Hotmail and Messenger users (who may or may not be aware of the new social networking side of Windows Live Wave 3),
now has a Profile. Although this is an exciting update for some, this update also caused some concern about privacy and user permissions what if you
