I never switched over to Vista for several reasons but one of the major reason was because I could never receive faxes for free or send for free with Vista. You had to pay for an extra software program to do that. Can you fax with Windows 7 for free?

Id like to send documents (MS WORD) from my computer to someones fax machine without having to print a hard copy and have to fax it over in the traditional manner. Is there a recommended software program (for the PC)? Or, is an online eFax service with monthly fee the best approach?

Thanks
