Summary: Much Like 2003
Comment: Because the other MS Office applications were quite different from their 2003 version, I was surprised with the relative few changes with Outlook. If'd realized it, I wouldn't have made the upgrade until later

Summary: The standard for office suites unfortunately
Comment: MS Office is THE standard for office suites which is really saying no one is trying very hard. Office 2007 user interface is vastly different from Office 2003. The menus are based on logical grouping vs function which sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. Once you get used to where things are it's not that big of a problem. I would like to see better integration between apps instead of the clunky embedding process. If I can create a table in Word, why not just create a spreadsheet with Excel driving it? What is really needed is one single app (or interface) that does all the major functions (word processing, spreadsheet, typesetting, slides) without having to open separate apps. You would think that MS, with all of it's inside knowledge of their OS and apps could make that work.

Summary: Junk - Complete Garbage in My Book
Comment: Once again Microsoft has shown their distain for their customers as they release a mediocre product that has less functionality then the previous version. I think since Vista, Microsoft's main goal has been to make all previous versions of all software obsolete. It must be, because they sure are not offering s product worth the price they are charging. Well.. Let me qualify that. If you never had an Outlook, then 2007 might be nice, but if you have Outlook 2000, then don't throw your money away on 2007. Here is what you get.
1. As usually with MS, you get a lot of NON-VALUE ADDED changes, that will tend to confuse you and slow down your productivity, at least in the begging. The user interface is completely different.
2. If you use a lot of Emil accounts (for your business, etc), you will find it a royal pain-in-the-neck to try and transfer them to 2007. Oh.. You can get them out of 2000 just fine, but forget about getting them into 2007 easily. And worse, you will have to enter them all manually and Outlook 2007 will hang up on you while it tries to figure out if you set them up ok. The best thing to do is set up 1 until you get it right, then use that to setup the rest and then hit send/receive to test them. There is duplication and some things are not clear i.e. Is account AccountName or AccountName@domainname. It is both, depending on where they ask for it.
3. Contacts. I can't figure out if you can move your contacts to 2007, but so far, it does not look like it. In 2000, contacts are in the outlook.pst file. When you open that on 2007, the contacts are gone. Well.. At least they do not show. Terrific huh? Look up "Import Contacts" in Outlook 2007 help and it tells you how to get Google contacts, Hotmail contacts and even Facebook contacts, but that's it.
4. The preview pane has been moved from under the list of email to the right of them, which squeezes everything together and also slow down the preview.
5. Here is one that takes the cake. MS changed the engine for HTML rendering from Internet Explorer to Word. Most will not feel the pain here, but if you need to reformat emails, you will quickly find yourself in trouble. This really sucks. As a business owner, I get up to 70 emails for orders and use templates to read them and reformat them for my distributors. Thanks again to Microsoft's ignorant wisdom Outlook 2007 doesn't seem to understand CSS positioning, so none of my template will work. I just got to go to unix and get rid of ALL things Microsoft.
Now you might say something like "Just move your Emails back to Outlook 2000. Remember the start of this review when I said "I think since Vista, Microsoft's main goal has been to make all previous versions of all software obsolete."? Well once your Email are in Outlook 2007, Outlook 2000 will not accept them, even if you repair the .PST via Scanpst.
In conclusion I am going to continue using 2007 on 1 of my laptops until I feel comfortable and feel I do understand it. I will add to this post at that time. But for now, I would like to chastise the Microsoft programmers for removing good solid working functionality, for God knows what reasons, and ask Microsoft management to bring back the writers of excel (arguably one of the best pieces of software ever written) to teach the new programmers how code should be written.

Summary: Don't load the Junk!
Comment: I was leery of buying this as some of the reviews were less than stellar. I wanted/needed the Outlook mail and calendar functions I've grown to love while working in the corporate environment. I've tried a number of email clients, some with calendar features, and none of them 'floated my boat'. When I found that MS made a personal Outlook client that was well within my budget I gave it a go, even after reading the reviews at Amazon.
What I DIDN'T DO was install the extra Instant Search features (and other junk) and Outlook works quickly and does exactly what I need it to do; operate as an email client and work as a calender reminder! I currently have 6 different email clients and haven't had any issues (except when I forget to shut it down during the day and can't receive personal emails at work. LOL!!) I highly recommend this package as it also allows up to three clients in you home so it's a real bargain IMHO!

Summary: Outlook 2007
Comment: I used Outlook at work and missed its functionality on my home computer. THe only thing I don't like is the constant news emails that I receive from MSNBC everyday. I have tried putting the MS address into Blocked Mail so they will stop but that did not work. This is very annoying. If anyone knows how to stop these, I would appreciate a line letting me know how to do it. Otherwise, Outlook is a good, solid, hardworking email program.
