Windows Live Today, and Tabs on Live Messenger

Can we please have some better functionality with Windows Live Today pop and
the Tabs on Messenger?

Why can't we pull all of our Live Services
(Live.com/Expo/Spaces/Favourites/Friends Explorer etc.) into that Windows
Live Today pop up? it would make it a lot more clean (visually) and much
more functional and useful if we could access and use all of the Live
services that we use just from that one window.

And tabs, can we make those more functional too so we can do things right
from within the tab pane instead of being redirected back to a browser
session by clicking on damn near anything in a tab pane? It's so annoying
that everytime you click on something a browser opens when you should be able
to accomplish the related activity right from the Tab pane. And more
functional tabs please? Like a Spaces tab where we can post a quick entry,
or mail tab where we can check and/or respond to mail, or tabs that we can
customize with gadgets like we can with Live.com?

Live Services should be about getting things done more efficiently so why
spread them all out over several different sites? Pull it all together into
one place for those of us who use Live Messenger (thus Live Today) but you
can still keep the seperate properties for those who don't use Live
Messenger.

Greetings,

Good ideas.

Just a note on the tab thing -- the tabs are primarily designed as an advertising vehicle and
the sponsors (say ebay) don't really want to be restricted to the Messenger window which is
why you end up in a another web browser.

Any Live services tabs would be nice, although the live favorites ones is pretty cool.
