I tried their Live Domains and it's a pain to setup.Check out <a href="http://patil.wordpress.com/2006/01/03/google-base-to-classifieds/" rel="nofollow">http://patil.wordpress.com/2006/01/03/google-base-to-classifieds/</a> to get an idea on how big Google's classifieds is. MS doesn't seem to understand web-services. They are kind of flip-flop. Sometimes it's server-equal-service sometimes they are the tools and software company.
