Will Microsoft ever change/improve the ugliness of WLM Tool Bar ?

Will Microsoft ever change / improve the ugliness of WLM Tool Bar ?
This is XXI century - and we are using still last century icons.
Mr Ballmer - it's time to do the job properly, just before
Windows 8 comes out.

Then you'll really "love" the lowest-common-denominator GUI that Google
chose to use for their Gmail webmail client.

WLM, it's product cycle and release schedule have nothing to do with Windows
8.

Or, better still, do away with WLM altogether and save the rest of us the
agony of trying to read the tripe it produces.

It's not the toolbar that needs improvement; It's WLM itself. It's not even
half a tool with all the things missing from it, like quoting, top or bottom
post, special conditions to send an html mail with pics, etc. etc. etc..

Pretty poor reasoning to go to a Mac; just install any one of the several
good programs out there from Mozilla onward. You switch computers when you
get value for your dollar: that's a pretty expensive excuse there. Oh,
forgot; I'm talking to a Mackie usng the groups.

You can certainly tell it to put the reply on the top or the bottom -
the MAJOR problem with WLM as used for news groups is that there is NO
quoting at all......
