As of February 20, 2007, Windows Live Shopping beta has been officially rebranded as MSN Shopping. Part of the reason for this decision is to reduce the number of shopping services Microsoft currently offer, which includes MSN Shopping, Windows Live Expo and Live Product Search. Microsoft's spokesperson stated that the beta testing was intended to obtain an insight into user behavior and these data will be incorporated into plans for future products. It was stated that user-created content from Windows Live Shopping beta (lists, guides, and reviews) will continue to be available on MSN Shopping.
As a result of this rebranding, Windows Live Shopping Guides, which was part of Windows Live Shopping, has been discontinued.

Famous quotes containing the word shopping:
“Most baby books also tend to romanticize the mother who stays at home, as if she really spends her entire day doing nothing but beaming at the baby and whipping up educational toys from pieces of string, rather than balancing cooing time with laundry, cleaning, shopping and cooking.”
—Susan Chira (20th century)
