Personally, over a year ago when I got a new computer with Vista it
was a real PITA to untangle MS software from taking over my computer
and getting what I wanted installed.


Not even remotely close to what the OP was talking about. Windows7 comes
with WindowsLive, the new name for Outlook Express, which handles SMTP, POP,
and NNTP protocols (mail and news).
