You buy it at a store, and no.
Sounds like you don't even know what it is, so how is it that you claim
it won't work?

You buy it, either alone, or as part of Microsoft Office. The current
version is 2010, and *that* version runs just fine under Windows 7.
No.

Fine. Except Windows Live Mail does NOT use pst files.

If you have access to an IMAP server, you could copy all your Outlook
emails to it, then connect with WLM and copy them back to its local
folders.

But if the OP has Outlook, why doesn't he just install it on the new
machine?

You might mention that Outlook 2003 or 2007 will also run under Windows
7 and should cost less....
K
Ken Blake
I did, earlier in the thread.
Sure, they are obsolescent versions and such non-current versions
always cost less.

Non-current, yes, but obsolescent, not so much.
K
Ken Blake
They mean very close to the same things here.
C
Char Jackson
Ok, but over here they couldn't be more different.
I use Office 2003 at home and 2007 at work. The primary differences
are cosmetic. I also recently took a product tour of Office 2010, and
again, the primary differences were cosmetic. The apps I use most are
Outlook, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, with a bit of Access now and
then. I switch back and forth between Office versions and so far I
have not noticed a needed feature that was missing on the older
version. Obsolescent? Not at all.

I started using Office 2010 when it came out in Beta and found the most
substantial change was better able to handle graphics, use graphics in PPT
and etc. (Probably a good analogy would be more bells and whistles graphics
wise.) But, like you said most differences are cosmetic and a different
layout of commands, most of which are good and a few that make no sense. (As
I remember when switching from 03 to 07 I saw pretty much the same thing.)

Don't mix up the words "obsolete" and "obsolescent." "Obsolete" means
"no longer in use." "Obsolescent" means "on its way out of use."
The latter is all I meant.

Sorry, should have read earlier!
If "obsolescent" means less bloated, easier to use and generally
superior then certainly they are that!
As always, YMMV but since Outlook 2007 and later don't have Quote Fix
available they're not usable email clients IMHO.

Char Jackson
Oh, ok, I'm sorry then. I was using the definition from
Dictionary.com, especially the first two words. You were focused on
the second part.
–adjective
1. becoming obsolete; passing out of use, as a word: an obsolescent
term.
I disagree that Office 2k3/2k7 are obsolete or becoming obsolete, but
I agree that they are (or soon will be) passing out of use, especially
2k3.

Char Jackson
I didn't know until just now that QuoteFix was available for Outlook,
so thanks for mentioning that. Till now, I thought it was OE only.

They certainly aren't.
But to me, they are clearly on their way there.
In that case, I'm glad to see that we basically agree, even if we use
the words somewhat differently.
