Vista - Frustrating time trying to sign in here

I must of spent 30 minutes trying to sign in at
http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/com...9-c13a2235ae50

I would sign in to my hotmail yet the system would throw no errors yet there
would be no ability to post messages. I just happened to stumble over
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...&cr=US&lc=1033

which allowed me to sign in. I tried several computers all with the same
result.

Do yourself a BIG favour and ditch the horrible web interface. Use a news
reader instead.

I have to agree with Gordon, snowbound, the web based community interface is
useless. I prefer to use the Windows Mail (or Windows Live Mail) newsgroup
reader.
