Microsoft has followed up last month’s launch of its Windows Live ad-supported application portal with a beta launch of Windows Live Local.

Windows Live Local adds some functionality to MSN Local Search, which launched in June. MSN Local had combined Microsoft’s Virtual Earth mapping and location platform with city- and region-specific White and Yellow Pages business listings.

Ads on the site are currently provided by Yahoo! Local Sponsored Search, but it’s expected MSN’s adCenter will begin distributing ads there at some point next year.
