But Microsoft goes further by offering a few unique features to add to the homepage, including access to recent documents created in Microsoft Word on a user's desktop computer and a virus- scanning service that checks a user's computer hardware. Windows Live also lets a user create a shared folder on the customized homepage in which he can share stored content with another user. The folder is fully replicated on each user's desktop so that whenever one person updates it, it's automatically updated on the other user's Web site as well.
