Outlook is a PIM rather than just an email client. It is completely
separate and unrelated to Outlook Express. This is very common knowledge.
And it never "came with Windows" unless a pre-configured machine was
purchased with it already installed - and then you still paid for a
license.

OE was always a subset of IE. Also common knowledge.

You can download any email client you want. Some are from Microsoft, most
are not. You can *buy* Outlook if that is your pleasure because it is not
free. Outlook can be purchased separately, or as a bundle with MS Office.

Well, that's a given. Ms Rough is probably the only one who doesn't know
how that works.
