Windows 7 is a great OS but a lot of essential software was left out on purpose to keep the basic install streamline. There is no email program like “Outlook Express”. No “Windows Movie Maker”.
Frankly, I don’t use either of these but if you needed them you can get these and a whole lot more by downloading them from Microsoft. If you go to “Windows Live Essentials” you’ll find “Windows Live Mail” (Much better than “Outlook Express”). There is the new “Windows Live Moviemaker” and “Photo Gallery” a great photo viewing and managing program). There is “Windows Live Writer” which is blogging software that I really like.
Although they don’t offer it on the”Windows Live Page” one of the best downloads is “Security Essentials” which is an anti-malware / firewall program. I use this and it’s pretty darn good. It’s effective and does not slow your computer down.
There’s much more you have to check it out.
For Windows 7, Vista and XP.
