Thank you for visiting the Windows Live Shopping beta and helping us test the site.

Our vast product selection and user-created content, such as guides and reviews, continues to be available through the MSN Shopping site. You will be redirected to MSN Shopping automatically in 8 seconds.

Windows Live Shopping Beta launched on April 28, 2006.

Thanks for the update Barry, we just removed the Live Shop button from our Shop tab at CrossEngine.com

Yeah, we helped test too and thought there were some potentially helpful features in the works, maybe they just went back to the drawing board with it.

Other than MSN Shopping, you can still access Live Shopping product results at http://products.live.com/

…at least for now, it’s still in beta too.
