As Terry Farrell replied to your other spew in this newsgroup,
"Rubbish." Neither Vista nor Windows 7 forces the default mail client
to anything.

Does Windows7 ALLOW you to use a default mail other than WindowsMail, as
Vista forces? Still trying to believe not only did Vista force this, but
gave no other options, and no work-arounds for it. As someone who's has had
more than one computer crash, WHY would I want my mail to download on my
computer, take up precious hard-drive space, AND be lost if computer were
lost/stolen/broken????? ... I would love to meet the brilliant mind that
came up with that ... and the brilliant one that decided customers would want
no other options ... gotta love a mind-reader.

When the new Windows 7 is expected to be on the retail stores for sale? Any
idea of the retail prices?

Will the Office Professional 2007 programs work well with it (I bet it will,
since they are from the same company. Any anticipated problems? Slowness
in old computers?)
