Hi Charles, Well, to begin with Windows Live Mail and Microsoft Office 2010 are still quite accessible. Yes, the user interface is quite a bit different on Windows 7, but different does not mean inaccessible. Once you learn how to use the ribbons they are just accessible as the pull down menus.
As to why Microsoft changed their user interface I can't say. I am not one of their developers, nor am I a part of their design teams. All I can say is they changed it because someone at Microsoft thought it was a good idea, and what you or I think about it doesn't matter to them. The bottom line is you are looking at this from the point of view of an end user, which is natural, but until you look at it from their perspective you will never understand. It is simply because Microsoft is out to make and sell new versions of their software and new user interfaces is one way they make money on older software.. Cheers!
