I read a blurb that Vista isn't going to offer Outlook. One user noted that it was like the 98 to 2000 Windows update. Wow ... look, with new "shinier" (TM) technology. While using Vista, it will do a courtesy check to make sure you have an authentic install of it. This will be conducted every 2 minutes while you work. With new features such as useless animations and roating windows.
Windows uses the Loren Michaels philosophy; if they laugh once at the joke, it will be especially funny twenty times in a row. Don't make a product better ... just make more, more, more! More plugins that you can buy! More codex that aren't installed! More settings to fine tune! Help now even more useless! That's right! With Vista you get more!

The upgrade from 98 to Windows 2k was a significant change. It was the upgrade from 95 to 98 and from 2k to XP that was more cosmetic than anything.
I should also point out that in Windows there is Outlook EXPRESS which most of us use, and plain old Outlook. There are tricks you could do with Outlook for automating e-mails, but nobody I know uses the thing. Express is all anyone needs anymore with straight-forward POP/SMTP mail. So it may have been just Outlook they did away with. In any case, internet mail is not a tough application, just about anything will do.
I'll have to get my hands on a copy in the near future and see about it. This was their chance to patch some security hole, which, it looks like they're already doing in version 7 of Internet Explorer.
The other day I got one of those errors that said "this app needs to be closed, do you want to tell Microsoft?" I said YES, is sent it, and a few seconds later, up comes a webpage with a solution - "this application has a problem with some antivirus programs such as (the one I'm using) download this patch." Wow. If they can make that automated help work, it will be a big selling point.
