Hi Yvonne, There are some terms being interchanged here, that shouldn't be, to avoid confusion. 1. Windows, refers to the operating system installed on your computer. There are many different versions of Windows, such as XP and Vista. And to further complicate things the version of Windows currently in beta is called Windows 7. 2. Internet Explorer, commonly referred to as I E,is an internet browser, used for accessing the internet. There are several versions of I E, such as versions 6, 7 and 8. Version 8, is the latest version. 3. Outlook Express, commonly referred to as O E, is an e-mail client, used for sending and receiving e-mail messages. As Flor stated earlier, there is no version higher than 6, because Microsoft changed it and gave it another name. HTH, Richard Q.
