X-Newsreader: Microsoft Windows Mail 6.0.6000.16480

Why are you using a mailclient to post on Usenet?

Why do you (apparently) expect a Microsoft (also-)News-client to have
the word "News" - or some such - in its name? :-)

But to be fair, Microsoft is apparently switching to the annoying
habit of using names which make *some* sense! Why, oh why did they have
to call it "Windows Mail", when "Outlook [Express]" was perfectly
*non*-descriptive.

And then there's (Windows) Contacts, Calendar, Defender, DVD Maker,
Live Messenger (Well, that's at least *somewhat* obscure, good!),
Media Center, Media Player, Meeting Space, Movie Maker, Photo Gallery,
etc.. What *is* wrong with these people?

Thanks heaven for "Vista"!

Anyone know of an active Xnews Forum?

news.software.readers

You mean this here board is a "forum"?
