arcticstoat writes "Microsoft has said that it plans to remove a lot of the standard apps from Windows 7 in order to make the new OS 'cleaner.' Among the apps for the chop are Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker, which will no longer be included with the operating system as standard. Instead, equivalent versions of the apps will be available from Microsoft's Windows Live download service as optional free download, much like the new BETA versions of the apps that Windows Live offers today. The apps from Windows Live already contain features not found in the standard Windows Vista versions. For example, the Windows Live Windows Mail client can download software from web-email services such as Hotmail and Yahoo!, which can't be done in the version of Windows Mail that comes with Vista."
