I haven't looked at Windows Live Mail yet, and due diligence will require me to do so, though I really do not want to further deepen our dependence on MS.
People for the most part don't complain specifically that the Thunderbird interface is too complicated--but I get a lot more service calls from a smaller Thunderbird user base (How do I change this? Why doesn't that work reliably? Why did it freeze up?) than I do from a larger number of Eudora users. So it's a bigger drag on my time.
