Crappy Datacommunications for Monopolies and Anti-competitive-corporations is a standard for cellular companies to use that allows them to run a fully legal (in America) monopoly and have complete control over the customer. Most countries banned it, and 90% of the world uses GSM, but in America, 2 of the four major carriers use CDMA (the other two use the world standard, GSM). CDMA works like this, instead of using a SIM card, your account info is physically embedded into the phone, so it can never be removed and thus, the phone cannot be sold or used on another carriers network, nor can you use another CDMA (or GSM) phone on your carriers network if it didn't actually come from your carrier. The purpose? To make you buy a phone from them, usually under contract.
A GSM phone can be used on any network worldwide simply by popping a little plastic card into the handset, a CDMA phone is limited to one carrier and sometimes to one person, and has very very little roaming capabilities worldwide. For example, it is impossible to use a CDMA phone in Europe, you will get no bars at all, since no CDMA networks exist there.

Microsoft's answer to why it didn't include major apps, like an E-Mail client, with its latest operating system release (Windows 7). Windows Live Essentials includes a bunch of things such as Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Movie Maker, Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Messenger. Don't let the similarities fool you though. The Windows Live Essentials apps are ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE compared to their predecessors (which were included built in to Windows Vista). This is the key reason I choose not to upgrade to Windows 7, because they will not include the awesome apps that are included with Vista.
Windows Mail (Windows Vista included app), for example, works similarly to Mac OS X's Mail app, which is amazing and the standard for all E-Mail clients, however Windows Live Mail (included with WLE and the only option for Windows 7 users) puts the entire view in a totally un standard, confusing format and doesn't even save contacts correctly if your using Windows 7, as 7 does not include an address book (or even a calendar for that matter). That's just ONE of the horrors that await Windows 7 owners looking into downloading Windows Live Essentials since Windows 7 does NOT include major features like previous OS's. If your on Vista or even XP, STAY AWAY FROM THIS CRAP. The only thing it has of value to you is Windows Live Messenger, ignore the other crappy features, they are less useful then dial-up.
