Anytime we go to a Microsoft or Technet forum to post a question, logging into Windows Live always fails using IE8 (see error below). Have to use Firefox to use Microsoft Windows Live forums. So ironic.

Hi, Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet Forum. After checking this issue, may I know the following details: 1. Did this issue occur before? 2. If not, did you install any software recently? 3.
