I have re-red all the post here and this part you wrote witch I copied pasted some of it here makes more sense to me now. thanks for writting it. let me know please if I am completely Right or some right or all wrong?
{your say here windows live is separate from Cnet but they work together or am I wrong}
Likewise "Windows Live" is not Cnet, but you might be able to access the Cnet forums by some shortcut or normal method using Windows Live, which is a service provided by Ms, and includes Hotmail, a messenger, various networking facilities, etc.

{this make more sense just re-red}
All the programs listed above are able to be run on your computer by virtue of the OS which in same cases has the ability built into it, and in others, allows you to install certain compatible software. In your case it is Windows Vista.
[ I am reading it}
I really recommend a good read of the Vista Help Files as a first stop when trying to sort out system configuration issues. But you need a more broad spectrum view of how a computer works first. The help file on most applications is usually written with the assumption that the user knows how to use such an application first, and needs help with a particular version of it.
I hope that helps a bit in posting help questions.
{here is more of a copy paste and a question.}
What you use to connect to the internet is different. It is software installed on the computer. Typically for most people, this will be a Browser (like Opera, Internet Explorer, Firefox etc), and email program (like Outlook Express, or Microsoft Outlook, or Thunderbird etc.)
Also might be an instant messenger program, (quite common, but I don't use them; there are many available) a P2P program, for file sharing over a network of users that have P2P active (examples are Limewire, Shareazaa, Ares etc.) (I definitely don't recommend the use of one of these for the inexperienced. There are quite a few likely traps and problems with the incorrect use of them.)
(I do not know what these are explaine better please?)
(examples are Limewire, Shareazaa, Ares etc.)
