It's interesting for me to find out how much people got so attach to microsoft product & how microsoft keep on taking advantage of it! The latest case that I learn is on the product called Outlook Express. As soon as Microsoft realize their user attachment on this product, the Outlook Express development and supported has been stopped by Microsoft. They release their new Operating system (at the time Windows Vista) without the Outlook program, but to make things last suspicious they released a new email client which they called Windows Mail, but most people didn't realize the appearance of this "new free Outlook Express email client substitution"!
Why isn't many people realize the present of this "new free Outlook Express email client substitution"??? Smooth, Smart, Excellent Strategy is the way I view it. Cause as soon as Microsoft release Vista, they also release Microsoft Office 2007(they both release at exactly the same time at January 30, 2007, here is the proof Vista release & MS Office 2007 Release). What made it so worst is that the fact that they cunningly made the name Outlook so visible as the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007!!! But things don't end here, Microsoft again stopped supporting Windows Mail too and released yet another program - Windows Live Mail.
The way I see their strategy, they simply playing this scenario, if you want to continue using Outlook pay for it! the price is a little more around $100, will you pay $109.95 to be precise for it? I know some of you would, but hell not me.
If you buy Windows 7 you won't find the new free version of Outlook. Unfortunately, for those of you who got so attach to it, Microsoft "stopped developing and supporting Outlook Express" after the version 6 of the software, they secretly & silently say: pay, pay, pay if you want it! But if you buy Windows 7 based laptop (VAIO in my case) it has Windows Live Mail preinstalled, and for those of you who wanted to use Windows Live Mail you could download it as the Microsoft Developers Notes web sites offers Windows Live Mail as a free download , or you could directly download from Windows Live Mail Download . I could only found one software that work similar to those Microsoft software it called Pegasus Mail, Ill be looking for more and will put the update when I found one.
