I'm fully aware of the OE "problems". Been responding to them for years. But

while they exist and are encountered by others, I've never seen it first

hand, not on my machine nor on any other machine I've worked on. Yes, it's a

bit fragile, but proper usage reduces the potential problem to near nil.

Yes, exactly. Saying Windows Mail is better than OE certainly is not

saying much! But it IS, in fact, better.

That's why most people don't use Linux.

Yeah! Hard disks? Gimme mag tape! RAM? Gimme core memory!

How is what Frank has said "backpedaling"? Alias proposes stupid tests to

prove eventualities that we never encounter, due to good practices.

To me, yes, and I use one. To most people who use Outhouse Express, no.

They think it means United Parcel Service.

Typical of someone who knows NOTHING about Vista.

FYI the graphical subsystem was changed to offload the graphic processing to

the video card and use little if any processor time.

Proper usage reduces the potential problem to exactly nil. Most users

would rather not be bothered with proper usage - too much trouble.

WinMail is better for most users, who prefer not having to take care

by moving the store to another disk and making clone backups. If you

use OE and you don't do this, you chance kissing the store goodbye.

For upgraders from Win 9x, it could be a veritable nightmare.. there was a

corresponding leap in the resources required.. XP was far less tolerant of

even minor hardware faults.. many modems, some keyboards, setups where

printers piggybacked onto scanners, and other hardware became defunct, as

did programs like Quicken 6 and Corel WordPerfect Suite 7.. PII's and low

end PIII's running 64mb RAM were about as much use as a chocolate coffee

pot..

 

But you know all of this.. :-)

The OP wants us to believe that "a computer industry analyst" is too

Re: "People came back and said, 'Please, will you take this off andreplace it with XP?'"

 

I also know, all that was worth it. XP was an

entirely different code base than Win9x, so

there was most definitely going to be issues

when the masses moved to XP.

Vista is *not* an entirely new code base.

It's more like a major update along the lines of

Windows 98SE or XP SP2.

 

I look back at XP and I remember some of the problems,

but I also remember how much better/faster/stable XP was

once the driver issues settled down. I haven't really experienced

many incompatibilities with Vista, that's not my point. My

Vista machines work well- but so did my XP machines. The

leap of performance and stability I felt when moving to XP,

I do not feel with Vista. I really feel like I've paid for nothing

more than a major service pack or XP Second Edition.

people report that when the inbox-outbox grows bigger and bigger with

because each message is a seperate eml file everything slows down to point
