Outlook Express isn’t on Vista either. Microsoft transitioned to Windows Mail with Vista.
My expectations are pretty low with any new versions of Operating Systems, so I don’t find the Microsoft Windows 7 experience all that uncommon – I just don’t change software until I’ve thoroughly tested everything out. And I’m not afraid to run older versions, particularly on modern hardware. Windows 2000 fairly screams on today’s computers.
The one big advantage of Windows and Microsoft is that it’s a pretty open system, all things considered. Certainly far more open than Apple, despite the claims that Microsoft is proprietary. Talk about proprietary. Apple controls very strictly both the hardware and systems software that can be added – that’s one of the reasons that they have far less security issues. Of course, until recently, it was also due to their lack of marketshare as well (the hackers went for the biggest bang for their buck).
