Customer Reviews

Good apart from HTML emails
I bought this because I had bought a pocket PC PDA and needed to sync it. I had used Outlook 2003 at work so knew it would be a very good organiser for email / calendar/tasks. This 2007 version has a new to-do pane which is very useful, and the new menu system is a bit better (not that 2003 was bad). Biggest reason not to upgrade from 2003 is that Microsoft have changed the engine for displaying HTML emails to a worse one (citing security as the reason). So some emails that showed perfectly in Outlook 2003 become poorly laid out in the 2007 version. Hence 4 not 5 stars. By the way I bought from dabs.com and got next day delivery, Amazon were quoting 4-6 weeks.

If only it was included in Student Edition of Office 2007...
This is an excellent program! For once, an upgrade really improves on the previous edition. It's a little strange at first, if you're like me and have got so used to working Outlook 2003, but the interface is not only simpler, but better looking and more intuitive.

If you were wondering about upgrading, and have the money, I would strongly recommend!

The only bad thing about the new Office 2007 releases (and the reason I don't give it 5 Stars) is the fact that they didn't include Outlook 2007 with the Student 2007 Office edition - I can pretty much guarantee that students are more likely to need an email program than OneNote (I'm a PhD student, and I can tell you that I've never needed any edition of OneNote, ever, but am fielding emails pretty much all day!). A weird choice from Microsoft.

However, if you're buying from Amazon, buy the Student Office 2007 and Outlook 2007 separately for pretty much the same price as Standard Office, but get the extra program (OneNote - despite it's relative irrelevance). So thank you Amazon for that!

Highly recommeded, as is Office 2007, which I am also finding very user-friendly, despite the lack of a "save" button on the top tool-bar (they expect you to know the shortcut "Ctrl-S"). Other than that, it's so easy to use, a monkey could do it.

Excellent email client
I got a 60 trial of Outlook 2007 with my new mobile phone. As it all hooked into the phones active sync unlike Thunderbird I was using at the time I thought I may as well install it and see what it was like.

It was so good I immediately bought a license for it. The user interface is well presented, much better than the earlier versions. The level of customisation is very good and there's a lot of information on the initial screen (if you want it).

A slight quirk is that Microsoft's much vaunted ribbon interface doesn't make an appearance until you actually open an email which makes the interface a little dis-jointed, but the way it ties into Word's formatting tools and OneNote make up for this.

A word of advice though - if you get a trial version with a phone or download it from Microsoft and then buy a key it only sets you back 42 (about £30) - a huge saving if you can live without the fancy box and possibly a disc.

For this price you can't go wrong as the level of functionality and intergration is way ahead of Thunderbird.
