Hi Thomas,
I am aware of this, but I am seriously questioning some of theese facts.
Why do I have to use my web browser for dealing with E-Mails, when I have
any Mail application installed, whether it is from MS or someone else.
I know a friend and one of her mail accounts was with the German part of
Windows Live.
She personally told me that the web interface to access and send mails via
her live account was inaccessible.
Thus using Thunderbird for example was a good choice for her.
But this doesn't explain why they want to promote the Windows Live tools.
As I said, the feature set of Windows Live Mail is not the same as Windows
Mail from Windows Vista...
And Movie Maker of XP might be old, but there is also a version of Movie
Maker in Vista...
But Windows Live Movie Maker you are encouraged to use is not mainly a video
recording and editing tool, but more like a content preparation tool for
video sharing on platforms like Youtube.
It means pa program with a similar name, but an entire new program behind
the name.
While I personally have no problems with a video sharing tool, I have a
problem when MS says "we dropped a video editing tool from Windows 7, but
hey, there is a program with the same name, but totally different
functionality!"...
Same goes for Windows volume control.
I had the misfortune to atempt to assist my sighted mother with playback of
some non standard Midi files on a Windows 7 laptop, where the installation
medium (DVD) is altered by the manufacturer in a bad way...
The result of the atempted midi playback left much to be desired and because
the volume control program of XP was missing plus some more sound related
settings, I quickly came to the end of my knowledge even with a totally
sighted person next to me...
That's the thing I meant...
