Firefox Support for WebParts & Atlas
I just have to point to this, because of the "cool" factor. Some really awesome stuff being developed, and I'm really glad to see it supporting Firefox since it's been my main browser for about 2 years now.

I guess that's why it's called 'Beta'
I'm the type of person that leaves their machine running 24/7. So, the new MSN Messenger 8 Beta has been running for a while now..probably at least 48 hours or more.

People are also quick to point out the seeming lack of "innovation" of Live.com as a portal page and they're confused about the differences between Live.com and Start.com and why one has Firefox support and one doesn't.
