Hotmail – cannot open/download attachments or view images in emails

Toward end of last week, I began having issues when clicking on attachments - you could see the status bar say it was downloading, but then nothing happened and no error message. Tried wireless and directly connected to network.  Same issue.
I then noticed that emails from business associates no longer displayed their photos or company logos in their "business card" signatures.
I am currently unemployed and have been sent documents to which I need access in order to be submitted for interviews.
This is a huge issue to me (and probably others).
I noticed a similar thread, 5 actually, that are now locked.  This has been an issue for some time apparently, even longer than I've been personally experiencing it.
Until now, I have merely tolerated this new Outlook - it has been a terrible experience to start with and now this may just cause me to stop using this product altogether!

What is the status and when is the solution to be implemented?
