It’s all she knew how to operate for a mail program, and she "wasn’t learning something new". I don’t think she was alone - I’d bet a ridiculous number of $300 netbooks have a $100 Windows OS and $200 MS Office Suite installed on top.

and my mother has been using yahoo mail forever... I still doubt most home users actually use outlook (most home users wouldn't even know how to set it up).

It's very much an enterprise / business thing for the most part.
