Visitors to Microsoft's download site are greeted with a variety of promos, including a pitch for the company's new 
free Windows Live security scanning service. However, on Monday the site was touting the "Windows Live Saftey (sic) 
Center." 

"Does this make you feel safe?," wrote one reader, who forwarded a screenshot of the site to CNET News.com. Indeed, 
several hours later, the typo was still there. 

Well, they did note that it was in beta.
