Sort of. You can download Windows Live Mail (similar to OE) for free. It
was not Microsoft's idea to discontinue it, but the courts got involved with
bundling with the operating system.

I'm not sure why you'd have to buy a book on it though. I found it to be
very intuitive and easy to use. IMO, the best OS so far. If you are using
XP, stick with it rather than pay for an upgrade. If you are using W98,
you'll probably have to better the hardware anyway so wait until it is new
computer time.

There is no "classic view" that I'm aware of and IMO, not needed. It would
be like buying a new Lamborghini and transplanting the engine from the old
Ford station wagon into it. I stopped using the 8 track tape a while back
too!
