Well to be Honest.
I like win7, but not having Outlook Express in it will put me back to install WinXP.
I have emailadresses of my work and provider wich i can pop3 into express.
Winlive seems not have the possibillity to do that for me.
So pretty useless, but nice for my hotmailaccount.

It iseasy to rearrange the shortcut icons, like Firefox, IE in the task bar by clicking on them and dragging them to the right or left, if you need to priorities them.

I’ve used the downloaded Windows Live Mail on my XP machine for almost a year now and it works just like Outlook Express. I am using the build 7000 beta of Windows 7 and the mail icon in IE doesn’t seem to work so I can’t verify the advertisements that you are talking about. I would just download Windows Live Mail from Microsoft and install it on Windows 7 and you will have an ad free mail system.

I also like most things about win7 but i will probably stick with winXP in order to use Outlook express for Email. With win7 i have to use windows Live for mail and although it functions OK having all that advertisement taking up real estate and no way to close it drives me up a wall. Plus not having the ability to set up the full screen the way i want my mail to be pushes me back to Outlook Express. I use large type so i can see the mail which reduces the screen area further. There are just too many address bars i don’t need for mail etc. Outlook Express was never the best program for Email but it beats Win7’s idea that the display has to be Internet explorer with mail. Just give me a button on the screen to turn off IE to work mail and a button to turn it back on. After all we are only talking about a visual display of the work not a change in how the software works. Just in case you have not noticed Everything in Win7 is now handled as a part of Windows Explorer when windows explorer goes down the system goes down , so it reboots and seeks a repair solution.

My system like yours , on the first installation crashed all the time. Now it does not crash but does still have problems. The check your performance does not crash in the normal sense it just reports it cannot continue because the user cancelled the opperation. Plus i cannot seek a cure to the problem because that function also does not work.

Oh well Win7 is still a work in progress called Beta

I love Aero Snap so much too. I downloaded the app from a website so I could use it in Vista and it’s working really well.
