    It's got to be easier than this

    With all the hype about Bing (and I like Bing more than any other search engines Microsoft produced), I can't believe that I just spent 15 minutes looking for a place to change my Live ID password.  I normally went to www.live.com to login and access my account.  Now that URL takes me to www.bing.com and I can't access my account... only my preferences!  After couple of savvy maneuvering around redirects, I figured out Windows Live is now http://home.live.com.  It's been awhile since I last visited Windows Live homepage (my fault for neglecting to pay attention to constant changes on the Web for the past few months), and I was literally lost in what seems to me modules after modules of UI elements ... network, preferences, safety, profile... but no account!  Finally when I scrolled down to the bottom of the page (I don't know what prompted me to do so), I found a link to my account at the bottom right corner!  Ahh... 15 minutes of treasure hunt just to change my password to keep up with Web safety.  It's got to be easier than this!
