Confussed about school

I'm running Vista and using Office 2007. I need Outlook Express for
School...how do I get that? What's the difference?

Windows Mail on Vista is OE's big brother with more features than OE. If
you take a look at WM, you'll see it has the touch and feel of OE.
 
Outlook Express is replaced in Vista by Windows Mail. They are very similar,
but not identical. (I use Windows Mail as a Usenet Newsgroup reader, and
it's slightly inferior to Outlook Express for that, in my opinion.)

Why do you need Outlook Express? If it's just for email, I suggest using the
full version of Outlook instead. (That's if you have a version of Office
2007 that includes it. The Student/Home version of Office 2007 does not
include Outlook.) I haven't used Outlook 2007, but Outlook 2003 is a much
better email application than Outlook Express.

There may be better email applications available, but I've stuck with
Outlook, as it was used by my employer.

Hope this helps.

No you don't - you can use any email client you like.
 
Windows Mail in Vista is OE's poor cousin, its O/E with a lot
of features removed or crippled.
 
WinMail is actually an improvement over OE for the most part, due to its new
message store format (See the WinMail section here:
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm). Unfortunately it is a bit bug ridden and MS
won't fix it.

The really dumbed down version is WLM.
