WLM 2011 Bundled on new Laptop
I just brought home a new HP Laptop with win7 64 bit preinstalled on it.
The hardware is pretty impressive however it had WLM 2011 bundled on it which I agree has the worst newsreader there is on it. But this didn't worry me as I planned to just uninstall it and then install WLM 2009 which I do really like. So I uninstalled WLM 2011 and then went to install the 2009 version and it won't install. It said I have a newer version so the older version won't install. This is really maddening. However I decided to try Thunderbird out and for the first time ever I have it running well enough I plan to keep it on this machine. Perhaps if I get good enough with this program I'll take WLM off my destop machine too. |

WLM 2011 Bundled on new Laptop
Think the best newsreader is WLM 2011, a little bit slower then Outlook
Express, you have to get used to it, but it's very easy to use. The negative points are that 2011 will be a bad year for the americans... "Lee Waun" escreveu na mensagem ...

I used to use Wlm 2009 but did not like version 2011.I refused to be forced to update my other live features to 2011 as I liked what I had. Unfortunately they do not allow you to "mix and match". It was at that point that I switched to Thunderbird and have gotten used to it fairly easily. There are many features that I prefer to wlm but extremely minor details of wlm 09 that I miss. I will stay with Tbird until I find something better in my opinion. Besides it is free and does what is needed. |

I have nothing to complain about WLM 2011, it's just my opinion, don't want
to force you to change anything, WLM 2011 (v.15) it's perfect, if you like thunderbird or other it's ok for me.

Just Google how to peel 2011 off (it comes with the whole bundle, Messenger, etc.), then install 2009. It's not as hard as they make it seem. |

Yup they must have purposely broke the newsreader to try to get people to abandon the groups. Is TB got a good future ahead of it? |

I did google that and even did these registry key things they said and nothing worked. I decided to just switch before I damaged the OS. I also don't like that ribbon they put on the 2011 version. If 2009 is not available which it isn't on this machine unless I reformat the HD and install a brand new OEM copy of win7 I have to just learn this new program which is getting better the more I use it. For now I will just learn this TB instead. |

Each to his own, of course, but almost everyone here will disagree with you. *You* may find it easy to use, but we all find that reading posts of people who use it extremely difficult because Windows Live Mail 2011 can not correctly quote. In fact, it's so bad that many of us will killfile people who use it. |

alt.windows7.general: -- ...winston msft mvp mail It's impossible to distinguish your words from Lee Waun's, and your signature is improperly delineated. WLM 2011 is possibly the worst newsreader ever created. Certainly the worst one that Microsoft has ever produced. |
