Microsoft AdCenter - Not ready for primetime?

I’ve been experimenting with Microsoft AdCenter. I’m not very impressed. As usual they seem to have copied someone else’s good idea, overloaded it with bloat and released something very buggy. The reason I’m writing this post now is because AdCenter decided to log me out and won’t let me log back in.
Setting up some campaigns yesterday was a lesson in patience. There’s too much unnecessary Ajax going on. Pages load slowly and then you realise they’re blank and have to wait while it does some mucking about to actually display your data.
Maybe I’m missing something or maybe it’s a temporary glitch. I will be persevering with AdCenter though for two reasons. One, they don’t seem to be as picky about landing pages as Google is and, two, MSN should reach a different demographic. I suspect their users are, how to put this politely, a little less Internet savvy. After all, who would use MSN as their search engine except for people who either can’t change their default homepage or who haven’t seen how a search engine is supposed to work?
