Oh man! I have Windows Live Essentials on most of my Windows 7 and 8
machines and it is awful. You can't even select multiple newsgroups
and right click and perform options. TB doesn't either. I dunno
understand why software has to go from bad to worse as time goes on?

Because the most vocal users of technology are the ones who demand that
everything be simplified. Power users don't demand change and generally
adapt to whatever is being offered. However, the incredibly stupid users
always want programs to remove the more complex feature and slim
everything down only to what's required and/or most used.

I want to disagree, but I having a hard time trying too. Well many GUI
applications at first were total crap and got better. How about that?
