I so don't like the new MS mail UI

I don't know what they are calling it these days, but, when I log into may
hotmail account, I truly hate the new UI's. Even the "classic" is not even
close to the same, and it is a real PITA to try to read, much less to try to
find anyplace to type a reply. MS has really skewed it up big time, the
viewing and reply screens are a total mess. I'm just going to give it up
and go to G-mail. At least I can find a space to type a reply there.

Jan, why are you posting about Windows Live Mail interface in Windows Live
Messenger newsgroup? (I assume you're not referring to Windows Live Mail
Desktop.)

well that's not all MS has scewed up.

Look at Vista, IE, WMP, and WLM, Office2007, Expression Designer...

its usable....

Because, when I open the Windows Live messenger and click the "Mail" account
it looks exactly the same as when I open from the Hotmail, and says I can
use the new or "Classic" view. I don't have any idea what they are calling
it now, but, itr appears that I am taken to my mail/hotmail messages when
from the Windows Live Messenger. So, I figured this was the right place to
post it. No, I'm not talking about the WLMD.

Thanks, Bear. Never fear....I had WLMD installed for a week, then
uninstalled it. I'll pass. :-)

Actually....I have been using the demo of the Expressions Web Designs for
editing my new website, and it seems easier than FrontPage, at least for me.
I'm not an expert at webpage/site creation anyway, and never used the FP
that much. Ignorance is bliss, I guess. :-)

The OE/WM is bad enough, and it does not look like they will be doing very
much to improve it. It's my thinking that they are trying to move people
away from the OE/WM to the WMLD, which is not much better. Function is bad
enough, but, the UI's are just terrible, especially, for visually impaired
users, even those with minimal problems.
