<DIV>I have found this discussion very interesting as I have been trying to figure out what to get as I need a new computer. I was thinking of getting a refurbished XP but have decided to go with what is out there now and XP won't be supported in a few years. I know I'll probably be somewhat unhappy at first, but as others have said, it takes getting used to and after a while it will feel more normal. </DIV>

<DIV>With regard to e-mail, I believe Office 2010 includes Outlook or Outlook Express. </DIV>
