Please excuse the rant but after two days of working on this piece of crap, 
I have to vent.

My wife bought a Netbook computer that has Windows 7 pre-installed.
She asked me to set it up for her.

There are so many things that are different from WIN XP ~ Like, no more 
Outlook Express which we have both used for years.

Scott:  Not exactly true.  You can use Windows Mail which is in the 'Windows 
Live package for Windows 7.  You can still use your regular email account.




With Win 7, you HAVE to use Hot Mail and it looks like most of the XP 
programs will not work on Win 7. However, I was able to get the email set up 
and anything that is sent to her old email account will go to the Hot Mail 
inbox. .. .


Scott:  Again not true.  Did you happen to use the compatibility mode for 
Windows 7?


The computer itself, a Asus Eee PC is a good little machine and with the 
Asus Wl-330gE wireless adapter, I was able to hook the Netbook up to the 
existing LAN so she can use the Netbook anywhere in the house without wires. 
. . .

Would like to hear from any one who has had experience with Win 7.


Scott:  Tell you what why don't you contact me at the email address 
scottbb1973 at gmail.com and I'll see if I can help you work through your 
issues.  I use Windows 7 daily and I like it the best out of all the 
versions of Windows I have had a chance to use.  I use a netbook here and 
actually use Windows Xp on it.
