As I understand it, there will be no more upgrades for Outlook Express
for Windows XP users. The sucessor to OE is a web-based email program
developed by Microsoft called Windows Live Mail Desktiop, currently in beta
testing. Is that accurate? The current Windows Mail is only for Vista
users.

Myself, I'm not a big fan of web-based email programs (too slow and
clunky). I actually like Outlook Express 6, although it could use a few
upgrades, such as better security and a spam filter.
