Just so we're clear. Live essentials and security essentials are different.
Yes yes, they both have the same name you say, but we all know by now that
Microsoft can't brand something to save their life. It's
like Steven King and endings to novels, or Dan Brown and actual content, or
Pinky and the Brain and escaping from the lab. It's just
a fact of life, *smile*.
Accept, move on, pass go and collect 200 dollars.
Take care,
Sina

Email's like this are very funny. First off if it was not for Essentials some
of the viruses I have run into both at work and home
would not have been caught and that includes all the most used nod32 Norton and
mcfee.
Second if people did stuff like this in the past we would have dumped Microsoft
when IE 6 came out and none of us could use it. I
will give Jaws till 12 to fix it then I will scrap windows live messenger but
there is no way I will drop essentials. Oh one more
thing. You could have unchecked the box at update time that said update all
windows live programs. Then you could have chosen to
only update essentials or others but not windows live.
I actually updated all to see if it was still accessible. I have skype till it
is fixed and there is no reason to blow a gasket.
Welcome to accessibility lag. The screen readers cannot keep up not even Mac
screen reader keeps up. I know cause I have the beta
on the IPhone and let's just say I have found 4 accessibility lags there maybe
just maybe if some of us were beta testing the
windows live and working on the scripts this would not have been a problem.
Windows live messenger is accessible the scripts just
need a bit of tweaking maybe if the scripts are open enough I will go see what
is erroring.

I have killed Live Messenger and all additional tools installed by the Live
Essentials package.
I will never install a M$ Live crap program again.
I would like to try Miranda but as Tyler said it seems hard to get up and
running.
I can't find any up to date JAWS scripts either.
I've seen a lot of frustration towards Apple on this list recently.
But in my opinion M$ is even worse.
