1269906	2012-04-13 10:29:00	Yep, I know of some IT companies who have made their customers buy MS Office Business to get Outlook for their email client as they were told there is no email client in Windows 7. While they are right, there is no default email client in Windows 7, Windows Live Mail was not even mentioned to them as an option. I have noticed now though that many out-of-the-box systems are now coming out with Windows Live Mail pre-installed on them. In most cases WLM will do pretty much all the average user wants to do, best part now is the inclusion of the calendar, so no more having to install some other 3rd party calendar. I dont really like the way it arranges its accounts when you have multiple email addresses configured, but I havent really heard any complaints from clients, so guess it is acceptable for them.

1269909	2012-04-13 11:57:00	I used to use outlook because I thought it was easier to use. Now Gmail's web UI is so nice and useful I ditched outlook. Esp with their business apps there is no real need to have small companies with Outlook and their own mail servers. Of course if you are managing larger companies your own equipment is much more beneficial I forget at how cumbersome a lot of webmail is. Don't take gmail for granted.	The Error Guy (14052)
1269910	2012-04-13 14:03:00	I hate the fact that Outlook lumps everything into one big file. Apart from that, it is pretty good. Still no need for most home users to buy it.	Greven (91)
