Outlook or Outlook ExpressI am using Outlook at home. I started using Outlook simply because it was the
one I learned to use at work. I never though of using Outlook Express but always wondered why there are two seemingly identical programs. Will anyone let me know which program is more appropriate for a home pc user? and why? Thanks. You decide:

Outlook is a personal information manager. It also does e-mail, but not newsgroups. The two different sets of features overlaps only in a single place: they both do e-mail. > Will anyone let me know which program is more appropriate for a home pc There is no answer to that question.

Which is better for *you* depends on which set of features *you* want. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup I prefer Outlook Express at home for it's newsreader and simple operation.
I don't need Outlook's features since I don't have the Microsoft Exchange Server installed. at home.

An exchange server isn't required for many or most of the Outlook features.

I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outlook_Express that says 'In Windows Vista, Outlook Express is replaced with Windows Mail. Windows Live Mail has since been released as the successor to Outlook Express and Windows Mail. ' This is eye-opening since I am planning to get a pc with Windows Vista. Then, Outlook Express is no longer there, right? I think I could have Windows Live Mail even now? Yes? So, a home user like myself who is not using OE shouldn't worry about it any longer, right? Then, if I have a hotmail account, it is the same as I am using Outlook Express, in a way? I use Outlook's 'details' tab for family's and friends' birthday. It reminds me of those days. Maybe, I should check on Windows Live Mail now?

Outlook's features despite that. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] i have transferred my Outlook 2003 to new laptop, which comes with Vista.
this has added many new confusing features which could be useful if they were explained, eg in a contact, clicking activities brings up lots of old emails. i need reassurance that outlook 2003 is compatible with vista before investing too much time entering details. could it get overloaded and crash?
