I'd like to think that a mere graphical thing like Microsoft Bob is a bit different from a functional feature. Nice strawman argument.

I did use MSN 2009 before deciding to return to a more user-friendly version. I did do the effort. Please don't make assumptions. I was not satisfied with the reskinning options available through Plus!. I browsed through the entire options menu over a dozen times trying to make it bearable. I did not state that backgrounds were removed; I said almost all of their functionality has been removed. The fact that the majority of the chat window does not have the background makes using them simply jarring.

I will concede the point about sharing folders, as WLM did a poor job of informing me about their replacement, SkyDrive. I don't see how it could be safer, however.

And I think I'll know better than to ask on the Plus! forums about any problems concerning something that isn't Plus!. This isn't the official WLM forums, and it's quite obvious. I only asked about Plus!, and plan to keep it that way.

Does anyone have a solution, or not? That's all I've asked, and the sooner someone can help me the sooner I can be on my way. I didn't realize this was such a controversy.
