Still on Outlook Express
My wife never wants to give up outlook express but now she is about to. It
is on her present computer. I am purchasing a new computer in which outlook 2007 will be preloaded. How do I get the account from the outlook express on computer one, over to computer two? |

How do I get the account from the outlook express on computer one, over to computer two? So how does YOU getting a new computer have anything to do with what your wife uses on "her present computer"? Why does YOU getting a new computer have anything to do with her continuing to use "her present computer". Even if you are a control freak that demands that your wife can only use your new computer and she has to discard "her present computer", why will that demand that she give up using Outlook Express? Even if you decide to go with Windows 7 which doesn't include an e-mail client, there are still several methods of getting Outlook Express on Windows 7. Your wife doesn't have to be bothered with YOUR choice for an e-mail client. She can continue using Outlook Express, or use Thunderbird, or Evolution, or anything SHE wants to use and that may not be your choice of Outlook. |

It's likely that the preinstalled version of Office will be a trial version only and will cease working after 60 days. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

If you get anything above the Home edition of Windows 7, you get XP Mode support. That gives you a license to Windows XP which runs in a transparent VM (once you also install VirtualPC). This is called Windows VirtualPC (or WVPC). With that license of Windows XP, you can run the OE in that VM. Of course, you could still use VirtualPC 2007 as a standalone VMM (virtual machine manager), install a pre-7 version of Windows in a guest OS, and use OE from there. I, too, figured that the lack of an e-mail client, and specifically OE (which always came bundled with IE), meant that you couldn't install and then use OE on Windows 7. I was corrected by those who have done it using WVPC (who also inhabit the microsoft.public.virtualpc newsgroup), plus I found articles that provide step-by-step instructions on how to setup WVPC so OE was usable, like: http://preview.tinyurl.com/Win7xpmode-IE6OE6 You can either use the XP Mode included in a non-Home edition of Windows 7 or use VirtualPC 2007 as a standard VMM and install your choice of Windows as a guest OS and which does let you use OE6 there. |

With that license of Windows XP, you can run the OE in that VM. But that is in no way "getting OE on Windows 7" as you claim. Since OE would be transparent in XP Mode (i.e., it looks just like any other program that you run on Windows 7), it is "on* Windows 7. That's the point of WVPC to make those virtualized apps look seamless in the desktop UI. If you think that virtualization means an app is not "on" an OS then explain how all these years users never considered WOWEXEC (Windows on Windows to support 16-bit apps on 32-bit Windows) as separate of the OS. WOW gave you remapping of the system API to support older apps. Windows 7 has its WOW64 to do the same. WOW provides a seamless mode of executing those old apps. XP Mode is just another means of making seamless what you get under Windows XP. |
