OE6 is unchanged whether or not you have IE7. They have branched apart and
the IE7 updates don't include any OE updates except some printing bug and
other problems. The files OE uses are unchanged.

If you get Vista, then you get the next rendition of OE which they've called
Windows Mail.

It looks like I'm going to have to replace my laptop very shortly
(crashing
too often). Dell Small Business (who our company buys from), gives the
option of getting XP Pro and Vista.

If I get a new laptop with XP Pro, it apparently comes with IE7
pre-installed.

1) How would I go about getting OE 6 without using or downloading IE6?
2) Do new XP systems being shipped now aside from including IE7 also have
included OE 6?

Thanks in advance for your help!!
