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:
“If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.”
—For the State of California, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
