OE's initial release was also the rebranding(name change) of Internet Mail and News. Also in 1997 IE4 and Outlook Express also was packaged with MSN Explorer 2.6. Active Desktop(AD) included in IE4(1997) lasted until Windows Vista circa 2006 when AD was deprecated, replaced by Windows Sidebar and Gadgets IE4/OE/AD were all released during the Win95 era and prior to Windows Vista. -- ...w¡ñ§±¤ñ
