Great reply.. and thanks. I use MSOutlook 2011 on my Macbook. I quite like it, though it is open to hacks. I once clicked on a link that opened my outlook and erased all of my email and contacts and wiped my archives. Fortunately, I also use Apple's
"Mail" and another great app called "AirMail". It promises to take over. Very fast and useful app.
Microsoft long ago lost its ability to respond to the market. Just like Bill wanting to control the population with the use of vaccines, Microsoft appears to suffer the illusion that it can control the market with its offerings. They just don't get it.
The new Office 365 interface sucks! My organization opted for it, but 3/4 of the 500 users gave up Outlook and moved to gmail because the interface is so poor.
First off, the interface is designed by children with perfect eyesight, so they think that its cool to use grey on white for text. You no longer get a nice solid black on white. This is ok if you are 20, but no good for people who are over 40. Try using
the program for a half day and you'll wonder why you feel so aggressive and angry. Yup. It's the MS interface designed for kids.
You can't get the message to anyone who cares either. Try support and you end up in India, where they just follow a script. Sadly, MS will have to crash before it realizes what's going on. Too bad really.
