I have always wondered about Outlook Express. Why have a seperate program from the main Outlook itself? I first thought that it was a way for M$ to have a versoin of Outlook on all its OS's without being accussed of monopolizing the mail retrival market.

Now since there is a some what healthy market out there I guess they don't feel the need to make dual programs.

Personally, I like express because it opens quicker and doesn't take to much ram, but now that doesn't matter because of CPU power and RAM increases, so I am not so stuck on Express anymore. No reason to have 2 programs and updating 2 programs when you can update one.
