The thing that irks me the most with AJAX-based sites like these is that the back button never works right. I just tried out live.com and yep, same story there: pressing back doesn't take me back one step but instead takes me back to the main live.com page.
Unfortunately I'm not sure that there's anything that can be done about it. But it sure is inconvenient to have to remember not to use the back button but to manually click wherever you need to go.
(It'll be even more confusing in Vista, since back/forward buttons are everywhere and are part of the new Vista UX guidelines...) - Anonymous
