the whole thing is much much longer :) but you got the drift
the thing i remember best from this conference is the bit about the new windows logo you can see behind Jobs, there was an animation in which this bubble that surrounds Win logo started fading and Jobs said something like this; If you look at the new logo and take the bubble away it's still Windows
You're right, I was thinking of calendar, and got mail conflated with it in my head somehow, but look at screenshots of leopard and vista mail apps, the button and control placement are near identical, and the visual style is uncanny (triangles on lists). You'd think they were the same app, just on different OSs.
Though Live Mail is radically different.
Actually, "Windows Mail" (and by extension "Windows Live Mail)" are completly new programs with nothing in common to "Outlook Express" other than they are both email clients.
One just needs to spend some time comparing the two to notice the was number of differences between the two. But for me, here are the most important:
- Multiple email accounts no longer dump all incoming mail into a single inbox
- EMail folder like Inbox, Sent Items, etc. are not each stored in single files (*.dbx). Instead, the folders displayed in Windows [Live] Mail reflect files and folders stored on the hard drive file system, which makes it a snap to backup email.
