Dante said it best,

"Abandon all hope, all who use Windows Vista"

This the most useless software microsoft has put out. Nothing works, not
software, not hareware, email, the os should be recalled. It should be
stamped "programed by a retarded monkey"

Microsoft plain and simple, ripped you off. Get XP while you still can. I
have a dual boot system, XP is the only OS I will be using. Vista is
shovelware, microsoft shovels it out the door to unsupecting PC buyers. Apple
will clean microsofts clock. Vista can't compete with a real OS. It's trash!!!

Since millions are using it successfully, failure says more about the operator
than the operating system.

I happen to have it set up. It's just that it's so moronic. It is anything
but intuitive, it couldn't be more confusing. And why is it that way? Just
for the "Hell of it?" Or is some simple minded security "feature?" It
probably is microsofts way of making it "easy to use." Like I said microsoft
will keep "ungrading" until their is no functionality left. As an example
you can't copy/paste an email address anymore. That just makes things harder,
NOT easier. They are morons!

Why would you need to copy an email address? Just start a new message, click on TO and select the recipient.
