It's been 246 days since my initial post on this Windows Live Essentials 2009 versus 2011. After this many days I still feel it's necessary to emphasize that 2009 is still the preferred Live Essenstials Suite.
2011 is bloated and slow to load on most computers
2009 is fast to open and has an easily customized toolbar
To make sure I was able to convert others back to WLE 2009, I reinstalled 2011, tried if for an hour (calendar, Messenger and email). Still found the ribbon/toolbar too busy and Messenger cannot be resized so it's a teenie-weenie box on my desktop. I don't use Messenger for Instant Messening, just to be alerted to new email and calendar events.
