chiawaikian Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Microsoft is embedding advertising in its new e-mail client software known as Windows Live Mail Desktop, the company disclosed late Friday. The feature, known as Active Search, will display text links based on a message's content, much like Google does with its Gmail service on the Web. Windows Live Mail Desktop is expected to be released later this year and will eventually serve to replace Outlook Express, updated for Vista and renamed Windows Mail. Because it will not ship with Microsoft's new operating system, Live Mail Desktop will be available as a free download.

pwillener Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Adware?No thanks! I'll just continue to use Mozilla Thunderbird and live without the ads and without the worm infections... I'm sure I could write a TB plugin that can serve adware... Agreed TB FTW! It's far superior to Outlook Actually TB and OL are completely different products; there is really no way of comparing these two. (You can compare it with OE, but that's again a different story).
