Progress?

I'm hardly the only one who wonders many tiny cons in the software development.

Windows 7 lost some useful features which XP had. I often changed the sort criteria when multiple items were selected, without loosing the selections.

Nokia's mobile explorer had a choice to use the bookmarks as a start page. Recent explorer offers empty page as a choice, which means one more click.

Missing Messenger in Nokia 5800

Nokia 5800 was shipped with the Live Messenger originally. After a software update the Messenger is missing, but the Hotmail account was left with the question mark on an blue background. This account has not even been able to be removed.

Recently I tried the WindowsLiveS60 application (Windows Live for Series 60 3rd, 1.0.6164). At first I tried to install the dep.sisx, but the installation ended in an error message. Then I installed the WindowsLive.sis package without any problems. Hotmail account had been removed, even though I didn't start the program. Finally, I removed the WindowsLive.sis package.
