Hi Donald, Yes, I did download and install Windows Live Mail, on my test machine, and so far, it does seem to work okay, with an interface quite similar to Outlook Express. I haven't had a chance to try the Security Essentials yet, but I'm looking forward to giving it a test run.

Hi Rick, My urgency was to prepare for Windows 7. However, both the Live Essentials and Security Essentials work just as well in Vista and XP.
