Maybe they didn't think people were using outlook so the deleted it

Or maybe they felt it was sapping sales from Outlook Pro :P
I wonder which one is correct?
Hey, i remeber the old days before Outlook was known. We used other programs that we paid for to get that capability. Then, MS added Outlook to Windows for "free" and slowly drove the other products out of business. Now, they think there's no competition and that they are entrenched, so they want to force us to buy Outlook. Well, I've experimented with Thunderbird and have no intention of buying Outlook for my new pcs. And i use OpenOffice and have no intention of buying the new MS Office.
