Don't show ads for scareware / rogue software on Windows Live / Microsoft sites
I can't believe Microsoft (at least in Italy) shows scareware and rogue software ads on its websites, for example "registry fixers" that simply remove some unused keys showing every item as "ERROR" and asking the user to pay to (more...)
Don't accept this kind of ads on Microsoft websites, becuse:
* It's negative ads for Windows (the avarage user thinks it is a necessary tool for a Windows PC)
* "Registry fixers" are useless software that bloat (more...)

Windows Live Mail: Bring back ability to view source HTML
In the old Outlook Express, you could turn on an advanced mode that would enable three tabs across the bottom... the editing tab (normal view), a preview tab (show email exactly as it will appear when sent), and a source tab (show the underlying HTML (more...)
Again, let the user be in control if they have the desire and knowledge. Please restore the ability to edit the HTML directly by adding an "advanced mode" that will turn on a "source" tab along the bottom of the editing window.

Live Mail only displays new mail popup if Live Messenger is running and is active. But when Messenger is not running, there is only the sound and new mail icon notification for Live Mail.
Make Live Mail use the same Popup notifications when Messenger is not running.

[Messenger] Clicking hyperlinks in conversations doesn't work half the time.
When a Messenger contact sends you a URL, clicking it in the conversation window often doesn't open the webpage, but just sets the text cursor where you clicked it. Repeated clicking does not help, you need to alt+tab to another window and alt+tab (more...)

Gone in Wave 4.
Remove advertising from Messenger; clean-up and remove bloat from Messenger interface.
Messenger is supposed to be Microsoft's core IM app for windows. Why is it riddled with ads? Of course I know the answer to why this is, but it really makes Messenger look like cheap piece of shareware or something. It also clutters up the messenger (more...)

Add batch operations for SkyDrive
Currently anything in SkyDrive that is in a folder (photos, documents, links, etc.) requires that you go into the folder then into the individual item in order to delete, rename, download, move or copy it.
Add a check box to the left hand side of each item in at least the "Details" view of the folder and allow the basic operation of delete, rename (sequentially like in Windows), copy, move and download of items avoiding having to do this one item (more...)
