    Microsoft Drops Outlook Express

    http://news.zdnet.co.uk/internet/0,3...9115680,00.htm

    Microsoft abandons Outlook Express

    Microsoft will not do any more development work on the world's most popular email client

    It might be the world's most widely distributed email client, but Microsoft has confirmed that it has no intention of further developing Outlook Express.

    "[Outlook Express] just sits where it is," said Dan Leach, lead product manager for Microsoft's information worker product management group. "The technology doesn't go away, but no new work is being done. It is consumer email in an early iteration, and our investment in the consumer space is now focused around Hotmail and MSN. That's where we're putting the emphasis in terms of new investment and new development work."

          I don't really see what more development it would need anyways.
          I post on GFY so that when people ask me what I do,
          I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

                              Microsoft is slick. No more giving it away for free. Now it will cost $100 or so to buy Outlook. Mark my words.

                                                                      mandrake? if so I was wondering. would Linux on an ibm be the best way to go. i been looking at them zSeries ibm's for a month or so are they worth the money. i havent fucked with a full blown server like thos. someone told me to just build one, but a server is not the same as a desktop unit. im thinking of just buying one taking it apart and learning how it works. That my way of how a MSCE Guru should be.
