Upcoming Windows 7
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?) |

Upcoming Windows 7
The first part of you question may be answered by searching Microsoft's
website. Please note I said *may* and not *will*. All we can do is speculate. Second part: Almost certainly. As for anticipated problems, almost certainly. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Octavio" wrote in message ...

No problems here so far - running on a Toshiba L40 Satellite with 2GB RAM and dual core 1.6 GHz processor... |

A simple Google search for "windows 7 release date" gets the official answer at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w...ome?os=nonwin7 -- "Windows 7 will be available on October 22." That's the retail release date; people with MSDN or TechNet subscriptions can download it now. A link on that page leads to http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...mpare-editions that shows estimated retail prices for three editions. Amazon.com shows the same prices at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss?ur...dows+7&x=0&y=0 although you may find other prices elsewhere. 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?) In my experience, both Office 2007 and Office 2003 work perfectly well on Windows 7, on both a 2-year-old desktop and a 4-year-old laptop. In fact, I think they work better on Windows 7 than they did on Windows Vista. But if your computer is old enough and slow enough, or has too little RAM, no version of Windows or Office is going to be satisfactory. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

I agree. I'm running Office 2007 in the RTM version of Windows 7, and it
runs with fewer problems than it did under Vista--I haven't done speed tests, but it seems like it's faster under Windows 7, as well. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jay Freedman" wrote in message In my experience, both Office 2007 and Office 2003 work perfectly well on Windows 7, on both a 2-year-old desktop and a 4-year-old laptop.

For whatever it's worth: I have been using the 2007 versions of Word, Excel
and Outlook on the Windows 7 Release Candidate without problems. Daddy "Octavio" wrote in message ... When the new Windows 7 is expected to be on the retail stores for sale?

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.

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

Windows 7 does not come with any default mail handler. You can add one if you wish. Windows Mail is not included with Windows 7. I'm currently using Outlook 2007, which works quite well for my needs. Vista *does* provide other options. I used Outlook 2007 in Vista as my default mail handler. Vista did not force Windows Mail, and allows you to choose any MAPI compliant program. I don't know where you got your information, but if you paid someone for it, you should demand a refund, because it's just plain wrong.

Not necessarily. When you use IMAP instead of POP, the mail downloads so you
can look at it on your computer, but the decision to store messages on your own computer is entirely up to you. Email is stored on the server unless you explicitly remove/purge it, and so it does not "take up precious hard-drive space". Outlook, Windows Mail, Windows Live Mail, and Outlook Express are all mail clients that can do IMAP... to name just a few.

IMAP accounts in Outlook use a pst file - so the difference between "storing" and "viewing" is rather academic don't you think? |

The .pst for my POP account is over 2GB. The one for my IMAP account is
265K. You might call that academic, I call it a substantial difference. The structure is there so you can read and manage email that resides on the server.

What is exactly the definition of "mail client"?
I am the "mail client" , or who is, or what is? (please clarify this for me). Thanks in advance. "Herb Tyson [MVP]" wrote in message ... Not necessarily.

A mail client is the program used to send/receive mail, such as Outlook,
