I wanted to tell Microsoft that you're making staying a user of hotmail or outlook email more difficult AGAIN!  

Isn't it amazing that GMAIL  and other email services try and keep you as a user and don't constantly change their services to herd you into some other software suite.

I have to say I hate Windows Mail.  It's poorly designed.  

Why can't Microsoft release a free email program that's a trimmed down version of Outlook?  I remember having both full versions of Outlook in Microsoft Office and Outlook Express and I tended to use Outlook Express because it was so much simpler and GOT THE JOB DONE!

I know your programmers worked really hard on Windows Mail.  But I'm sorry guys...it sucks!
