Microsoft Outlook 2007 (PC)
£75.47
not much different to 2003 - I just installed this on my desktop and laptop and not found it not too different to outlook 2003. Can t really see major changes but as all msn office product goes, it is still fairly easy to use.
Why bother ? - Why pay a rip-off price from Microsoft when there are loads of good free email software programs that are just as good ?
One step forward, three steps back. Avoid. - + s. improved aesthetics.- s. It crashes reguarly.. It horribly bloated, if it is trying to connect to your server multi-tasking goes out the window - even using other applications is a no go. This hangs so often it is almost a given my laptop will become a frisbee at some point.. it doesn t like HTML mails!!!. the address system is retarded.. it doesn t save drafts where you tell it to in the options.Concl. Buggy, bloated and overpriced. Stick with the old office.(this is on new top end VAIO...)
A step backwards - I was using outlook from Office XP. Thought it might be worth upgrading. Outlook 2007 seems to be less reliable. I ve reinstalled it several times but there are problems with setting the default email account, and the application keeps on opening up in safe mode.It can t even cope with HTML email.I ve gone back to Office XP. Shouldn t have wasted my money.
How much ???? - Are Microsoft mad? This is a very nice piece of software but lets face it, in this day and age, a £25 one. There s absolutely no justification for an e-mail client as popular as this one to be a staggering £80 plus.I also agree its ludicrous that its not part of the Student edition. The fact that Word, Excel and OneNote combined is cheaper says it all.
