Ok people you guys need to use IE while opening e-mail

Link doesnt work in Firefox :D

I have 2 passport e-mail addresses, any idea if I can switch from one to another one?

To the guy who said to use IE, that doesn't work. I tried with FF and with IE, both in Gmail and Yahoo. I also tried from within Thunderbird and Mail (on my Mac), and neither of those show a link, either--just the "Download Now" button. =\

Yep I can confirm that the download button doesn't work anywhere for me and no download links are visible.

EDIT:

I did view source and found where the button was pointing. That worked.

There is a link in e-mail

Ideas.live.com

Tried IE, didn't work. I just emailed MS and they told me to forward the email to them. I just did - waiting on a

response.
