Microsoft Stops Development Of Outlook Express
Jman314 writes "According to a ZDNet story, Microsoft will cease development of their Outlook Express email client. "The technology doesn't go away, but no new work is being done. It is consumer email in an early iteration, and our investment in the consumer space is now focused around Hotmail and MSN. That's where we're putting the emphasis in terms of new investment and new development work." says Dan Leach, lead product manager for Microsoft's information worker product management group. Microsoft's alternatives include, not surprisingly, the full version of Outlook."
That's why we don't support Outlook.

Hotmail sucks, OE sucks. Blah. /me reinstalls Linux
When cancer is cured, it will probably be by Jewish doctors. When fusion is mastered as an energy source, it will probably be by Jewish physicists. As nanotechnology frees us from the burdens of scarcity, we will notice that a hugely disproportionate number of the innovators in the field are Jews.
Jon Abrams, if YOU are a Jew, you are NOT living up to your calling. Please reconsider your stance on fakesters immediately, or else you will become an "honorary" member of the inferior races.
I was going to post this in the friendster story that's about to be posted, but they're taking a long-ass time to post that so here you go.
WOW Thunderbird runs slow, like it was written in Java. Nice alternative.
Yep, kinda just slop it on in globs.
Stopping myself...Abort (core dumped)
The smell from that bloated steaming pile of shit will start to dissipate. Eventually new programs will stop telling me they require outlook to install (not that i use such a program after i see outlook in the requirments).
You want a fuckin cookie? Well, do ya, ya fuckin doosh bag?
Evolution sucks Outlook's balls. I say that because I have yet to see a completely functional evolution install. Either I can't send email, can't check email, crash sending/checking email, crash opening the calendar, crash closing the calendar...or just plain crash upon startup. The possibilities are endless!
Oh, and please choke on a bucket of dicks if your solution contains any of the following: change distro/fix gtk/recompile kernel/fresh install/compile from source/update.
Mix the failings of Usenet with the shortcomings of the World Wide Web and the result is slashdot.
Why not start your own business, then? Americans are always boring the rest of the world with their land-of-opportunity crapola.
Face it, the USA is Victorian Britain 2.0.
That was classic intercourse!

Have a look at the Clinton years vs. Shrub years. The economy. The job-rate.... and the DEFECIT.
Pal, Bush is doing what every Liberal has known for years, that the Republicans are really Plutocrats -- they'll sell the future to make their golf-buddies rich. Trickle down economics wont work (tax cuts for rich == reganomics at its worst), and Shrub is a cluless, thiest, ignorant, bumbling warmonger -- AND REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP (rich CEOs) LOVE IT THAT WAY! What better way to railroad the future into cheap labour, massive debt and never ending war and the propaganda to support it???? A CLUELESS, INEFFECTUAL, MYOPIC puppet as president.
looks good on you yankees to be such a laughing stock.
