Got a call from a friend who just purchased a new Toshiba laptop which came with Vista, don't know what flavor, and he can't find Outlook on it anywhere. Came with the Office suite, Word is there as is Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, etc. but no Outlook. googled for it and it seems from what I could find in a few minutes that he's going to have to "buy" Outlook for Vista, is that correct, or is it just too well hidden? thanks, niteowl |

It's pretty strange that a laptop would come with that. ss. |

No software comes with Vista or any other o/s The PC supplier may choose to supply trial or other versions, if the purchaser pays for them There is no Outlook for Vista, there is Outlook 2007 and various Office 2007 versions "Niteowl" <me@somewhere.com> wrote in message news:uQZ96qUDJHA.4816@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Got a call from a friend who just purchased a new Toshiba laptop which > came with Vista, don't know what flavor, and he can't find Outlook on it > anywhere.

It sounds like Office 2007 Home and Student. It may be only a trial: if so, your friend will need to buy a licence for it. Office 2007 Home and Student does not include Outlook. If your friend is looking for Outlook Express, he should use Windows Mail.

Your question is confussing. Vista is the OS and does not come with Outlook. Outlook is the software inside Microsoft Office family, not vista. However, like windows xp come with outlook express, vista come with a new version of outlook express which is now called Windows Mail.

This copy has Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, but does not include = Outlook. Be aware that this "trial copy" will quit work in 60 (or 90) days and = then you have to buy a license to keep using it. The license usually = costs more than you can buy the program for a your local store. Note: the Office software is not part of Windows and never has been. |

It depends on which version of MS Office he got, some have it, some don't,. But Vista (nor any previous Windows) does not include Outlook. Vista replaced Outlook Express with Windows Mail. You can download Windows Live Mail, but it seems to be a resource hog. I don't see that Windows Live is any better than reading your mail in a browser window, and a browser seems to have less overhead. Like anything else, that is MY opinion, some people love it, I think it stinks.

To find some Google email clients and/or newsreaders. That's not a very smart answer from someone who claims to know more about Vista than Frank. |
