A Spaces page could be personalized with "gadgets", modules that enabled further customization, HTML code, and media playlists.

Users also had the option to set access rights for visitors to their MSN Space based on the relationship between them (e.g. Friends, Family etc.).

As part of the rebrand and upgrade, the URL for all MSN Spaces members were moved to keep in line with the Windows Live branding.
