When I read these original remarks by this guy I thought something did not make sense.

Microsoft Outlook: Popular e-mail software and even more popular virus propagator.

[Richard Kimball]

Leach blamed communication problems for the confusion.

Okay, somebody help me with an ironic comment here.

"I sat down with the Windows team today, and they tell me my comments were inaccurate,"

Translation: "I got my chain yanked, but good."

what improvements does this app need? it does what it is designed to do right?

[Joe Bonforte]

We see this kind of faux pas from Microsoft all the time (excuse my French). The company is large and the various parts are rather disconnected from one another. For those of us who deal with Microsoft on a daily basis, we see contradictory messages all the time.

The funny part is that the anti-Microsoft folks somehow simultaneously hold these two ideas in their head:

1) Microsoft marketing people are idiots who often can't get their story straight and send out contradictory messages.

2) Microsoft has lousy products and only succeeds because it has great marketing.

Take your choice, but I don't see how you can believe both of these.

Then why use it?

I just downloaded a bunch of patches, one major for OE, and as a result I can no longer open most attachments sent to me via email. I'm not even given a choice - I am simply told that "OE will not allow the opening of suspect attachment" or some such nonsense. Anyone have any idea how to get around this or do I just go download Eudora?

Never having used either, what's the difference between Outlook and Outlook Express?

Is the latter a "lite" version of the former?
