Microsoft trying to clone google? 
Pro's:
1. Live doesn't have annoying Google advertisements.
2. Live has a nice advanced search option.
3. Live works together with your Live account. (MSN, hotmail etc)
4. The layout of Live looks better than Google's.
Con's:
1. Live searches slower than Google.
2. Live doesn't show the number of results.
I'm not saying that you should use Live as a searchengine. Live definitely has more pro's than con's. I don't like too many changes, so I'll stick with Google.

Live is a product group not just a search engine...much like Google has become a product group that developed from a search engine.
Live Search is just the new version of MSN search, not a new thing, just an old one renamed to come into Microsoft's new Live system. See Windows Live Messenger, Live Mail, Windows One Care Live, etc.

Also I read somewhere that Live search does not produce the same relevancy results as Google.
At the time of writing, Live search returned simliar results to Google, but fewer of them for certain test searches - and if you need certain in depth searching, that could mean missing a good result.
