Outlook is terrible. Please please please let me go back to my Hotmail account.... at least until I can sort out why Silverlight plugin keeps crashing, all my links to urgent emails don't work and many more problems with Outlook. If William Gates was still in charge I doubt he would simply switch off peoples account without their permission. Like Windows Live messenger, in which is soon to die out this is a major mistake by Microsoft. Please let me at least go back to Hotmail even for a few days to correct all the links to old emails (33k in my inbox and fixing about 80 links...... not a chance) I don't want Outlook, I didn't opt in for it and I have lost the option to go back to Hotmail. Microsoft support simply pointed my to the link that I already read (we have removed the option to go back) . If I were an important business then your costing me.....well business.....but I'm not however I am currently unemployed due to the economic downturn and I am having major problems with Outlook. Come on MS get back around the board table and offer people the option to go with Outlook not just switch it off. Or at least give them time to migrate..... I have saved links to old emails and when I try to retrieve them I get this..

Sorry, there seems to be a problem with Outlook at the moment

So I now need to go through all my emails to find out which link this is.....this is also one of many many saved links to old emails. At this time I give Microsoft's efforts 1 out of 10. If your think that's breaking the rules then fine but your hurting my prospects of going through old emails to review job offers and see declinations. AArrgghhh!!!

If this is what being committed to the consumer is.......then I am a Martian.  In the computer world...... when people have a problem then they buy another brand........ unfortunately...it's taking MS an awful long time to realise this.
