Re: Windows Mail (Vista) vs Windows Live Mail vs Windows Hotmail

Hi, Gary.

Thanks for the link, but it confuses me!

The only "Live" program that I'm interested in (for now, at least) is WLM.
Trying to download just that gets me going in circles, downloading
WLInstaller.exe. But when I Run that program, I get the message that
"Windows Live programs can't be installed on this operating system."

Is that because I'm running Windows Vista Ultimate x64? Is it the 64-bits
that is stopping it? Or the Vista?

What "new version"? Is it a later beta than 12.0.1184? Or is it the
"final" version? I can't seem to find any of this info at the link you
gave. I get lost in the "maze of twisty little passages". :>(

And I have to be out for the next several hours, so I won't be able to try
to puzzle it out until tomorrow, I suppose.
