They are making major changes to OE and changing its name to Windows Mail in
the next OS. There's a bit more information he

They are redoing the message store and adding some nice stuff such as Junk
mail filters. Unfortunately that won't be out until sometime around the end
of the year (if then), so you are pretty much stuck with what is in OE now.

Whether or not we see other changes in OE prior to Vista, is unclear, as it
really depends on how much time it takes them to get Vista ready and how
many new bugs they've added, but you won't see an OE7, as there is an IE7.

From What I Read On A Forum,It said that IE6 Will be upgraded to version 7
But the changes added say are very little so It should be only considered
a update, should be updated to version 6.5 it says ....

my question is: will Outlook express be updated also or will Outlook
Express be discontinued as the thread I Read thought OE Will not be
developed anymore

I Hope none of this is true as I Like microsoft products but If So I Will
need to start looking for alternates
