I don't recommend it. Most likely due to that hack, I wound up
having to do a two hour repair/reinstall of Windows 7, before
I could install SP1.


I don't know if it already has SP1 or not. I don't know where to look. It
updates automatically. We haven't been able to find an email program we
like better than WM. We've tried several and didn't like any of them.



You are likely to run into some odd incompatibilities, if
not now, then certainly in the future.

Please explain the Windows Mail hack. I can't stand the email program on
W7.

Control Panel System
That screen will tell you the version of Windows you have
including the Service Pack level.

I also liked Windows Mail, but reluctantly gave it up when
I realized that over time it will become less and less compatible
with Windows 7 and newer versions of IE. Sometimes you just
have to bite the bullet. :-)

Since there's no mention it updated to SP1, apparently it hasn't. It's set
to auto-update.
