Than instead of hovering over DDF, I suggest you open a SH"U and Taz and 'adjust' your understanding.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.

From Chabad website:

Quote
Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, eminent 20th century halachic authority, writes1 that a woman who desires to wear a tallit may do so, provided that she wears a distinctively feminine tallit, to avoid the problem mentioned above. He cautions, however, that this applies only to women whose desire to wear a tallit stems from a yearning to fulfill this mitzvah, though recognizing that they are not required to do so, and not to individuals who don a tallit as a "protest," a means of challenging what they perceive to be a gender bias in Jewish law. Such an individual is not fulfilling a mitzvah, and to the contrary.

That said, their Tallaisim are pretty feminine (I question the men who wear them)
If you don't care why would you comment?

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Though, for someone ready to change or starting, Outlook has a beautiful UI.

Microsoft has a great product, their problem is that they are over 10 years late into the market. Most of us comfortable with gmail have no reason to switch over.

Same case with the Windows phone. Had they been several years earlier, they might have been on par with Android in sales. Now, someone that got used to awesome Android phones, has no point in getting used to a new platform even if the new one is great too.
