We Hate Bing and Hate Outlook...How do we return to prior friendly MSN email systems?  Not happy with these at all.  A good friend called recently, and due to massive frustration with the newer, ickier system foisted upon everyone without our consent, yelled that they really hate Outlook as well.  Hooray!  We are not alone with these sentiments.  Not a friendly setup.  No way to easily navigate as we did with the former, wonderful, friendly MSN program.  Tried to avoid using this useless program for years at work and now, alas, we are stuck with it on all our pc's.  Why weren't we given a choice to change to this frustrating program? I want the other back. How can we make that happen?  Options are good - being told what we will use rubs many folks the wrong way. Thanks. Thot u should know.

I'm getting an error I've never seen before when I'm trying to connect via WM this morning. I'm getting the usual "We can't sign you in to Windows Messenger" error, but the error code is cffff82e, which neither Bing nor Google has been much help with. The only references I could find were a couple unanswered questions on the Brazil/Portuguese section of this site.
