Microsoft Outlook 2007
March 15, 2007
I have not ever been one to like Outlook. I have always thought that it was basically a glorified waste of time. I have to admit though, Microsoft Outlook 2007 is definitely worth a look.
I have always used Thunderbird, the Mozilla application. It had its bells and whistles, was infinitely customizable, and had a great spam filter, but it lacked on thing - a way to integrate into my newly purchased cell phone, the Motorola Q.
On first boot up, Outlook seamlessly configured with my email clients, all 8 of them to be exact. All I did was type in the email address and password, and it set everything right up for me.
Then, on with the calendar. The calendar and contact lists are both intuitive and easy to use. Move something from an email into the calendar sidebar, and you have a scheduled event.
Probably the most impressive, geeky feature is that you can just drag an attachment right off of the desktop and drop it in an email. It automatically attaches it for you.
For now, I am sticking with Outlook. And if you haven’t upgraded from the 2003 application, now is a good time to do so..
