Office 2007 ?
-
I agree. However, that bloated pile they call Outlook doesn't have the ribbon bar and it really needs it. I use 07, I support 2000 and 2003 at work and I still don't understand why I have to click through 5 menus just to add a pst. I hope MS puts the ribbon bar on everything. Hey how about a pc that boots to a ribbon bar instead of waiting for the OS? :)

I agree there! Outlook always has seemed like it is the red headed step child when it comes to UI enhancements. Its almost like it's not really an MS product sometimes. I was shocked to see that you only had the ribbon when you were editing a message. Seemed very odd to me.

Is it just me or is Office 2007 a large steaming pile of ? I have a maxed out dual core machine, and I can easily outstrip outlook when typing an email message, and I ain't no speed demon on the keyboard. Co-worker of mine told me to just not do it... I'll regret. He's right.

so far i've no complaints, in fact i like it. same goes for vista.

Same here. In fact I have to say that it i think ti runs rather well on my Dual-core machine that's now down to 2GB RAM. The wife runs it under Vista on her Dual Core 1.7Ghz laptop with 2GB RAM and loves it. Vista, I still have some cautious reservations about... My wife loves it, I had issues with it staying stable, but am looking forward to Win7. I for one would love to finally see a unified UI across all MS products at some point. Perhaps once they have migrated enough stuff over to WPF the UI can be decoupled form the apps more and that will happen.

What? Have you never heard of Lotus Notes? Outlook achieves nowhere near the magnitude of suck that Notes does.

I've been remiss. I have slandered the other applications when my vitriol is directed at Outlook. All I know is that when I installed 2007 with the defaults, it feels like 100 tons of nothing slowing my machine down. As I type in this text entry window, it keeps up. If I tried outlook the characters would be trailing....

yes, it is. On the outlook front, this has to be the worst email client ever in the history of the world. Right now it's doing a search for me and as soon as the search results come back, it blanks the list. Add that to the fact that filters rarely work the way they are supposed to and it occassionally loses email and my frustration with this POS keeps growing...
I kinda like Windows Mail that goes with Vista (successor to Outlook Express). Is there anything that I'm missing that's nice in Outlook?

try thinking in a room full of memory banks composed of 12v relays with little toothpick flags attached to the relay contacts that go up for "1" and down for "0" ...clack, clack, clack...oh no, a flag is on the floor...it must have dropped a bit :laugh:

I expect to be using XP and Office 2003 for a looong time.

We're filling in for your shortsightedness; all of Office 2007 is a steaming pile. When I installed it at home, my wife instantly disliked it--her complaint was that it was all "too busy." My twelve year old really wanted to try it, but after a few days she confessed she hated it as well because it made no sense. (Fortunately, I had installed it only in a virtual machine on my system, so I just whacked that.)
