Re: The Outlook Express Development Team/s
D. Spencer Hines
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you kindly.
My question is relevant in all three newsgroups of course, as any thinking
person can readily see.
I'd like to know more about the members of that team because they were
obviously very bright, technically/conceptually competent and talented
people.
Do any of them post to any of these Microsoft groups?
I'll bet they still have some very useful things to tell and teach us about
developing, upgrading and using email client and newsreader software --
based on their cumulative experience and knowledge over many years.
Who was the head of it, for example?
Perhaps there were several teams, working together on different parts of
Outlook Express.

But it loses quite a few functions.
Is there no way to cajole/hack/sacrifice to the gods, a way to get OE6
running on a Vista box?

Ugh, that's a shame. OE has been a reliable, simple mail client for me for
several years. I've tried using WLM and it's just not what I need. I'd be
more inclined to switch to Thunderbird well before I'd put up with WLM.
Chalk up another lost user due to MS destroying yet another product through
removing functionality.

their mail client.
It's the part of the OS which they see and use the most, every day.
So Microsoft needs to put its best foot forward and make the mail client
really shine and be powerful, yet elegant and glitch-free.

Amen, brother.
The recent spate of "let's fuck with the user interface just for the sake of
it", combined with destroying time-tested functionality is making it easier
and easier for people to jump ship on Windows entirely. Other operating
systems are looking better and better every day in comparison. Combine that
with umpteen different "versions" of the OS and people are throwing their
hands up and saying "screw MS, we've had enough".
