This is just my view, no data to back up yet, but I belive such
interface works when the users is working with a known set. Take
an example of email, local desktop files etc. 

In case of live.com implementation, it makes it more difficult
to comprehend the entire solution set. Pagination provides a
much more concrete status of where they are in the overall
solution set. Scroll is more of approximation (in user mental
model terms). 

I think a Page model will enhance this interaction. So having
two things:

1. Visual Separation between each scroll
2. Adding page numbers
