| | Why not have separate newsgroups for WLMD and Windows Mail? It's confusing enough to have multiple products with overlapping functionality; just plain annoying to have to sift through messages about one product when trying to find information about the other. |

| | Re: Why not have separate newsgroups for WLMD and Windows Mail? Well, I think the MS programmers should switch to using another language. There must be a lot of languages available with more words than English. Using that multi-worded language there would be so many new ways to name things so we would not have had to deal with OUTLOOK and OUTLOOK Express, Windows EXPLORER and Internet EXPLORER (and now with Vista, how many other EXPLORERS). Maybe we could even find a better word than "click". Mine doesn't actually make any noise. We could even have separate words for right click and left click so it wouldn't be necessary to specify that when you are working with a Windows neophyte over the telephone and attempting to help them solve a problem. Maybe a left click could be "push" and a right click could be "shove".
