If anyone is new or unfamiliar with using a computer or Vista, they
should really take the time to explore and read ALL the features of
the Welcome Center that first POPS UP IN YOUR FACE when Vista first
starts instead of turning it off. It would really stop these "In
typical MS fashion" kind of comments.
Even with the Welcome Center turned off - The number one return on a
Help & Search query of Outlook Express is 'Where is Outlook
Express' if that isn't readily findable anywhere I really don't know
what to tell anyone.
I know some feel Help & Support doesn't answer every question to the
fullest detail they desire, but for the novice user who needs a
little push in the right direction, it's the first place they should
look. For the experienced users needing help there are always plenty
of books or web sites that really get down to the finest details of
damn near anything you need to know about.
I'm really kind of Boggled a few people even had a hard time
realizing Windows Mail is Outlook Express with a new name, one look
at the program says it all.
IMHO - Windows Mail is a more accurate name as it isn't associated
with Microsoft Office's email client "Outlook" so I personally think
the name change is for the better. BTW I don't use Windows Mail I
use Outlook.
