what are you on about ?
apply and ok do exactly the same thing, aprt from ok
exits the window you are working on

Not so fast! There are other examples. For instance if
you change the details for a group member in Outlook
Express then click on OK, it throws away the changes. You
have to click on Update first. I know that  from bitter
experience!

not sure what you mean, i can't say i use groups in address book
seems ok to me though, i made a group, stuck some poeple in it, messed about 
with details and such
ie 6

there are always exceptions to the rule anyway
and the rule says click ok to save and close, apply to save and not close
then again, we are talking m$ stuff here :)
