Is it correct that Windows 7 no longer has Microsoft Outlook Express?

True.

Is there any option to buy this software from Microsoft?

No but Microsoft has a replacement called WLM (Windows Live Mail). There
are different versions of it and later versions forgot how to quote
text. It is sort of like OE and sort of not.

I have a relative migrating from XP to Windows 7, and I would not be
thrilled having to install an overweight application like full Microsoft
Outlook. I was hoping to find a way to install Outlook Express and then
export from XP and import directly to the same application on Windows 7.

I am not pleased with WLM at all. Although you might like it. If I had
to pick one WLM to like, it would be WLM 2009. While I am not a big fan
of Thunderbird, it is better than WLM. And it runs on XP, Vista, 7, and 8.

I just recently heard of a new one called Outlook Express Classic. I
haven't tried it yet, but it is suppose to be very much like Outlook
Express. That is right up my alley. So it sounds interesting.
