A new homepage for www.live.com is approaching further:  The notification that visitors won’t be able to access Bing from this URL soon has been made much clearer.

The Bing homepage has moved from www.live.com to www.bing.com.  Please make www.bing.com your homepage.  Remember, when you want to go to Bing, type www.bing.com.  Thanks for using Bing!

So we can look forward to Wave 4.  It is coming—soon.
