Not anymore. Neither Vista nor that Windows 7 contraption have Outlook
Express. They have something called "Windows Mail". Windows Mail is
*supposed* to be able to access outlook mail stores (.PST files), but
lacks 2 DLLs to do so, so you need to install the full Outlook to get
thsoe 2 DLLs so that Windows Mail can open the .PST files.
