What where are the Microsoft Windows 7 addons to replace stuff removed in Windows 7?
I have heard people say that Microsoft has some downloads available
that replace programs that were around in XP and Vista but not included in Windows 7. Does anyone know the URL for these downloads (which are probably somewhere on on microsoft.com? Thank you. |

HI, Mark.
WHICH programs are you interested in? Perhaps they were talking about the Windows Live Essentials, which include several programs with the Windows Live name: Mail, Messenger, Calendar, Movie Maker - and a few others. See the list for yourself and download - free - any that you like from: http://download.live.com The most prominent, I suppose, is Windows Live Mail. WinXP and prior had Outlook Express built in; Vista had Windows Mail. Windows 7 has NO integral mail client or newsreader. You are free to choose any that you like; many of us are using Windows Live Mail, which looks and feels a lot like OE/WM. RC -- R. C.

I received the January 2010 issue of PCWorld yesterday and found URLs for three from M$, and I suspect they have more in their huge dl data base. Live Photo is at find.pcworld.com/64075; Ultimate Windows Tweaker v2--change the number to 64079 If you browse around that number range you might find more. I might be the only person in the world, but I wish they would make the Vista search engine available for W7, which has the slowest one in the universe and quite often misses things that I know are there. I know that many people disliked it, as did I, but after using it a few times I changed my mind. Allen |

Is there anything you are specifically looking for that is not available in Windows7, or are you just looking in general for programs that ran in XP, but won't in 7? -- SC Tom |
