There is a message when clicking anything (working on your request)
that slows things down.

Judging from the quote, it looks to be /unintentional/ (i.e., a bug) and
/due to/ recent updates (i.e., changes) made on the server farm(s).

As I posted last week, they recently changed Hotmail so that the links to
open messages are no longer HTTP URLs. The links are now Javascript code
that loads the text of the message into the current web page. This breaks
tabbed browsing.

I have no idea why they did this. It's not any faster than loading the
message in a fresh web page (hence the "working on your request" message).
The whole point of the Classic Hotmail interface was to keep the old style of
browsing around, for people who didn't want to deal with all the messy
Javascript in the new-style Live interface that loads new content into the
existing page.

I've submitted complaints to Hotmail through all the channels I know about,
and have not received a response. Does anyone know a way of reporting bugs
and UI complaints that actually reaches someone competent?
