Al, I've only had one occasion to even open Live Mail, but wow...was not impressed! I was expecting (hoping for) Outlook Express with a face lift...not even close!
I've had occasion to hang around the offices where this reboot-mania happens, and what usually causes it is when someone makes a comment, out loud, about how their "computer has frozen!"...usually someone of the female persuasion. Now, actually it's not frozen at all, just busy. But then a helpful computer-guy-wannabe will pipe up and instruct everyone who is listening that "...you just need to push that small button on the front of the tower. Here, let me show you..." I have a lot more trouble with end users who think they know all about computers than I ever do with the machines, or the software, or the other 99% of the humans involved.

Outlook was bad enough but that takes the cake. I've not noticed VFP problems like that though. But I have noticed that all that crap about 7 being faster to load and run is twoddle. Closing down is so slow. One thing, I think the behaviour you see is only when someone gets clicky. Maybe they should get a coffee.

And, depending on what you click on at that point, the "offending" window may become "shaded" sort of a milky white...I guess it's Windows 7's attempt at showing that the program is in distress or something.
