Alright, so I log into my computer this morning, and it seems as though everything has been upgraded. First of all these upgrades are incredibly ugly. MSN Messenger became Windows Live Messenger, Windows Media Player went from a large piece of crap to a large puddle of crap. Firefox stopped working, and Explorer seems to be crappy and slow; I had to download Opera.

As the old saying goes: If it is not broken, then there is not a need to fix it. LEARN Microsoft LEARN! You broke it!

Turn off auto-updates and you won't have to worry about them doing that. :)

when the HELL did you last update?

MSN Live's been out since almost August...WMP 11 came out in like October...and IE7 in November.

Dunno what they did to Firefox though, works fine for everyone else.

Not since I got this computer a couple years back, I was quite satisified with how things were. I am not fond of the new updates at all. I can do without Firefox, it had problems displaying certain websites anyways. I am more concerned about how Winamp music no longer displays on my MSN "What I'm listening To" section =P

IE works fine for me now that I have it set as my default browser, it was slow because I used to have Firefox set as the default browser, and when it was attempting to load it slowed down everything.

Also, why call it "Windows Live Messenger" I mean, what the fuck? WLM? This is about the most retarded name in the history of software.
