Windows Live Writer

It is a good tool for writing blogs, could be better but so far, it’s so lousy. I don’t know why Microsoft start something which they are incapable of managing. They cannot even reply the questions asked on the writer’s forum. Maybe it’s overwhelming for them or they’ve made enough money and really don’t care.

There are monthly updates from Microsoft and just two days ago before installing the updates, I had 5 rough posts saved on Windows Live Writer. Whenever I get an idea, I normally write
down roughly and go slowly through them later. Today I wanted to prepare one of the rough posts for publishing on this blog only to realize that the folder in which they were is empty. All my posts are gone!? I could not believe it.

The writer offers saving options and I had the folder  in My Documents which I thought I had the full control. I asked myself why they erase everything on this folder during update without even notifying you? I thought the folder was safe and only I can decide what to do with it. I also had other issues with the writer before and this was my breaking point.

I immediately went to the control panel to uninstall it only to realize that it is not even there. I had to go online to search how to uninstall it, got the instructions from another frustrated user and I was able to remove it for good. What a relief!

I don't know what is wrong with Microsoft but looks like they are digging their own grave? They have more competition now than ever and instead of improving there services they are leading themselves down the trench.

I’m not bothering to post my complain on their forum after seeing all the unanswered questions.
