Removing WinMail from Windows did NOT make it "snappier". It just makes
it easier for MS, as they don't have to support OE / WinMail any longer,
not that they ever did.
They did it correctly with Server 2008, where one has the option to
install WinMail (and other Desktop items) or not under Add / Remove
programs.
Windows 7 is just Lazy Windows -- much easier to support for MS, since
its dumbed down.

So, Redmond is undercutting its own position on the market.
If you have no e-mail nor news-reader and instead you're
left with sticky browser as IE8 is, you better think twice
before you buy any PC... There is an open source or Leopard X
left...-;)

Vista Rookie is right "a browser should include an email client."
May be we should be more selective in future.

I think a browser should include an email client.
I also feel, after all these years, a certain standard
has developed. Removing those apps makes me
feel cheated, whether they would be totally free to
download or not. And there is the issue of the time
involved in doing my own installations.
I do not agree that it is the right direction. The right
direction might be to include everything and allow
people to uninstall them if they don't want to use them.
I also do not agree with an email client that doesn't
allow all the creativity possible. It would be better
to include an updated version of OE, even if it had
a name change than to push WLM.
ps - I don't like bloat, however, Vista is snappy
enough for me, as is.
Hyperbole aside, Windows 7 is notably snappier than Vista.
Being able to choose one's own apps instead of incurring
the overhead of unwanted included apps is a step in the right
direction, in my opinion.

Its permanent. MS has decided to dumb down Windows.
In Windows 8 one will have to get Windows Live Calculator and Windows
Live Notepad. And in Windows 9 one will have to get
Windows Live Windows.

I've been looking for sometime to get into the 'insider' group of beta
testers, yet no luck so far. My question is, where do they get these beta
testers and what are the requirements.

So far, Windows 7 has been very stable and had good performance marks,
finally persuaded me to leave Windows XP and even more impressive, Ubuntu
8.10 and Linux Mint. However, I don't think I'm just ready to shell out the
(probably) 300$ for the Ultimate final version.

I'd really like to participate in a Windows 7 discussion board/newsgroup,
aside of the public ones riddled with spam and comments posted by '13 year
old fail whalers'.

Its in beta, thats what beta testing is all about. If Microsoft bring out
another o/s that is hated as much as Vista has been (well thats how it looks
to me) I think they have shot it ! Windows 7 has to build on the rock solid
platform of Windows XP.
