I am very afraid of being automatically upgraded to outlook.  I use Google Chrome since I have had problem with Explorer 8 since 2011 I have Vista.  Crashes constantly and too aggravating.  Chrome is very basic but rarely crashes. I use explorer only for things I cant do on Chrome or Fire fox.  I do think it is a shame I have to use all 3 to do what I used to do on explorer alone.  

I use hotmail as my primary, I have a google account for subscriptions such as pintrest and diet/recipe accounts and a yahoo account for sites that make you sign up for a 1 time event Basically this is my Junk mail with permission.  Friends have been suggesting I switch google as primary transfer all my saved e-mails to that account so I don't lose everything if I am forced to switch.  When almost 90% of my log ins are me e-mail address either way it is going to be a pain.  

If I am going to have to change over 300 log ins I would like to start now.

I am using the latest update with Fire fox and have Vista home premium 64 bit.

When I composing a email in Hotmail, the auto spell check will indicate an error in part of the words that are not misspelled with the red wiggle underline.
As an example,  Typing the word "those" it will underline the "ose" of that word those. If you right click the error, it give suggestions for the part it underlines ("ose") , which is unusable. If you use "those" again in your same composition, the error does not come up again.

This happens mainly with simple words and usually errors the end of the correctly spelled word. As far as can tell it is only on my computer.

Thank you
