Microsoft Security Essentials

So does this replace anti virus, spybot and ad-aware in one go ?

I must be one of the last few remaining users of Pain Shop Pro (which I'm quite happy with)

I use Paint Shop Pro 7, though I did install Paint .NET recently because I couldn't work out (or remember) how to do alpha channels properly in PSP. I'm really very bad at learning how to use other people's software.

I use MSE on both machines. I've pretty much not been aware of it, which is good.

My client PC is all in German, outlook is all mad - what the heck is going on here?

At work we've got pooled PCs. Some have one version of Outlook for Web which isn't too bad; the others have a version which makes it difficult to find your out box. It's German all the way and finding my way around the latest version of Office is "interesting".

I take my (Mac) laptop in when I want to do some serious mail work (or do it from home).

I use Gimp for graphical work. Stupid Appropriate name for a powerful program with a stupid UI.

FTFY. Gimp is classic open-source... powerful functionality hidden behind programmer-created interface.

Off-topic a bit, but has anyone noticed MSPaint has been overhauled in Windows7?

yup, although the overhaul looks mainly cosmetic.

Calculator HAS been properly overhauled though, there are some nice features in it now
