We all want to share those wonderful pictures we’ve taken of our families, our friends, our pets, our gardens. Windows Vista makes it oh, so easy—just select the pictures and send them on their way. What’s really useful is that Windows Vista gives you the ability to set the size of your pictures so that you can send several at a time without incurring the wrath of your e-mail service provider for overloading the system—or the eye-rolling of the recipient when the pictures take an hour to download! Also, if you size the pictures, they’ll fit nicely on a screen when viewed.
