Upgrading to Win7 removes Windows Mail

[Tom Koch]

I don't see your point.

That was MS's excuse for not fixing OE in the 9 years I was an MVP.

I haven't seen a revenue model in Windows
Live Mail, and I've been using for some 23 months already.

Damn, you must be good! I saw ads the first time I opened it.

Incidentally, MS is opening opening Hotmail to free POP access.
Quite a few countries already have it, and the US will be added
next month. There goes that revenue model also...

I guess MS has figured out that advertising in Live products is not going to
be the way to beat Google.

I believe the first couple of WLM beta builds had ads, but by the
time I tried it out (Feb. 2007) the ads were gone. I would never
put up with ads, not even a tagline added to the bottom of emails,
as Yahoo and Hotmail web-based mail does.

No. Now its because the bugs only affect 0.1 % of the users (100,000
about), so they won't fix them.

And it also speaks to competence and the lack thereof.

And remember: "there is no Q in Microsoft".
