New Vista Install e-mail & news & browser?

Whats the weapons of choice in a new Vista install. I want them to be as
simple as IE & OE

Whats this chrome shit?

 

Firefox
Thunderbird
Also you'll find "Sync Center" is a pile of poo, but MS also have
"SyncToy" which is very similar.

 

Doesn't Vista come with IE and OE?

JFGI.

 

This aint got OE! it came preinstalled with office, but no OE that i can
find.

Yes sir!

 

Its called windows mail.

HTH

 

Doesn't Office come with Outlook - that's the "full version" of OE?

Not on this PC it aint.

 

Well, thats what I use on my laptop that has vista installed, not so much
for email but newsgroups.

Outlook is probably appearing on the "start" toolbar as the default email
client. Go into internet properties (right click on the Outlook icon) and
change the default email client setting to Windows Mail. You should find it
on the programs tab.

 

Not always. I think the pikey Home & Student version of Office
doesn't have it.

 

Are you calling Nige a pikey?

Oh, hang on ....

 

Windows Mail.

Come on Nige get it together heh.

 

Are you sure it's Vista?

;-)

That'll be the time to mention OpenOffice(http://www.openoffice.org/),
then,

No, it does not.

As you can see, there are several variants that do not include
Outlook.
