Message: [QUOTE="dave186, post: 271060, member: 26367"] Its been a while since i used OE with hotmail, but you dont use pop3 or smtp, when you add an account it has an option for hotmail somewhere. I think XP was worth the cost, compared to previous versions of windows. Its very similar to 2000, but the home edition does have a lot of user friendly type features. I havent had much trouble with compatibility, and it really does make a lot of things easy for the "compuspode" crowd. Things like the built in scanner and camera wizard (didnt have to install any software for my scanner and it works great). pretty much, if its USB it will work. XP is more stable because its based on the NT kernel, and it was written for servers and stuff, so it doesnt crash as much, and when it does it doesnt take the whole system down with it usually just the program thats at fault.
