Availability of Windows Mail

[Gene L.]

Windows Mail on my Vista OS works just fine. I like it. It is simple and
easy to use by a single non-business user. Is this application going to be
terminated? If so how far into the future will it be available? What then?
Thank you for your interest.

Vista is the only operating system that uses Windows Mail. Is it going to
be terminated? No. It already was. All development of Windows Mail ceased
in June, 2006, (Yes, while Vista was still beta), and all focus since then
has been on Windows Live Mail.

Windows Mail will continue to get any security updates if needed as long
as Vista is supported, but there will never be any changes to it. Even
then it will continue to work, in Vista.

Thanks for the info. I guess I am the only one in the Country who does not
know what is going on.
Regards.
