windows live, enforced upgrades and other irksome things

Hello list.
I attempted to log in to messenger the other day and found that I was
prevented because my software wasn't sufficiently up-to-date for
Microsoft. I despise enforced upgrades and resent the fact that i was
expected to download a suite of over 130 MB, full of unnecessary
stuff, just so I could use their messenger service. I did install the
software though, and noticed right away how much slower it was on my
computer. This morning I realised that it was also making me type like
Yoda! I'm actually wondering if this could be a JAWS-related issue,
and if anyone else has experienced it. I will type text in the input
field, and the first word I type always ends up at the very end of my
text. This is very strange indeed and I can think of no conceivable
reason why this might happen. I'm using JAWS 9.0, and wonder if there
is some kind of cursor movement conflict going on here?
My important questino though is to those of you who have dispensed
with Windows Live and use some third party application for accessing
the Microsoft network. Which ones do you recommend? Obviously, I'd
like something small and functional, and JAWS-friendly. It's high time
I get this hog off of my computer.
