| | Re: Outlook express vs windows live mail Win7 will include a download link for Windows Live Mail.

Folks who hang on to Windows Mail to the bitter end will be very unhappy when Win7 is thrust upon them, because they won't have an easy upgrade path. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP (Mail) "Jeff" <Jeff@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:C1332E73-6A11-4791-A6D0-150328D83912@xxxxxx Quote: > If Win7 is not going to include a default mail client, then what are we who > are using Windows Mail to do? > > "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: > Quote: >> [Crosspost to Vista Mail newsgroup, if only for the entertainment value] >> >> Windows Mail (not Windows Live Mail) replaces OE in Vista: >> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...abid=2&catid=4 >> >> Yes, you can also install/use Windows Live Mail in Vista.
