The desktop client *IS* the solution that MS recommended in the thread being referred. At least temporarily until they fix the web client. Photo attach works great in the desktop client.

Again, nothing new to sign up for. Just install the desktop client and you have access to all of your email, contacts, and calendar in your existing hotmail account. I use the desktop client on all of my PC's and only use the web interface when I'm on someone else's PC or a kiosk.
