Subject: RE: unsubscribe
Or to put it another way, going back to Outlook 2003 is a purely positive
experience and I can’t think of a single thing where I’ve thought “gee I really
miss how they improved {0}”.
I suppose this one of those things where everyone’s use cases are different.
However I personally have found:
a) New Unicode PST/OST files that support 2GB files
b) Ability to connect to 1 Exchange server concurrently
c) Free/Busy information (for meeting scheduling)
d) OneNote integration
e) Auto-configuration
f) Single “To-Do” list of tasks and meetings
To be useful things that I’d miss if I had to go back to Outlook 2003. Item (b)
particularly
Ditto across the board for Office – some of the theming ribbon options are
handy in Word but that’s about it. Excel is a perfect example of how the ribbon
UI is a hammer and not all Office apps are nails – menu/toolbar worked much
better, addins/macros/etc were much simpler easier pre-Excel 2007, and I still
find it hard to comprehend the lack of core productivity improvements, like how
hack-y it feels to do relatively simple things like autocomplete dropdown lists
compared to OpenOffice. I guess they fixed some of the teething problems with
the ribbon UI between 2007 and 2010?
Again, I suppose it depends on your use cases. But I think in almost any area
there are improvements – take Reviewing for example – Compare Versions to
produce marked up documents, Ability to reply in-line to comments etc. are all
great tools.
Cheers
Ken

Or to put it another way, going back to Outlook 2003 is a purely positive
experience and I can’t think of a single thing where I’ve thought “gee I
really miss how they improved {0}”.
I suppose this one of those things where everyone’s use cases are
different. However I personally have found:
a) New Unicode PST/OST files that support 2GB files
The problem didn't seem to be that, just that when they did get big they
(seemed) more prone to corruption, typically from forcibly closing Outlook.
b) Ability to connect to 1 Exchange server concurrently
that's a tick
c) Free/Busy information (for meeting scheduling)
Sounds good, but I don't find people using it - they schedule meetings
willy nilly over existing.
d) OneNote integration
Hmm, what's oneNote? :^)
e) Auto-configuration
Love it. And it worked on Outlook on Mac in the version before Windows.
f) Single “To-Do” list of tasks and meetings
To be useful things that I’d miss if I had to go back to Outlook 2003.
Item (b) particularly
Ditto across the board for Office – some of the theming ribbon options are
handy in Word but that’s about it. Excel is a perfect example of how the
ribbon UI is a hammer and not all Office apps are nails – menu/toolbar
worked much better, addins/macros/etc were much simpler easier pre-Excel
2007, and I still find it hard to comprehend the lack of core productivity
improvements, like how hack-y it feels to do relatively simple things like
autocomplete dropdown lists compared to OpenOffice. I guess they fixed some
of the teething problems with the ribbon UI between 2007 and 2010?
Again, I suppose it depends on your use cases. But I think in almost any
area there are improvements – take Reviewing for example – Compare Versions
to produce marked up documents, Ability to reply in-line to comments etc.
are all great tools.
I'd make any team submit rigorous business cases for UI changes. As an
enduser, I don't like UI changes for giving a product a new or fresh look.
I'm impressed with Microsoft's integration with Android in Exchange.

Speaking of Outlook issues, I hope all of you Outlook users realise that whenever Outlook auto-replaces your smilies it looks like garbage Latin glyphs on every other mail user agent in the universe. Apparently it is replacing your smilies with spans of wingdings. It took me ages to figure out where these spurious J's were coming from: On 26 March 2014 12:28, Nathan Chere nathan.ch...@saiglobal.com wrote: Isn't that what this whole mailing list is all about J To those of you who have noticed that I'm using Gmail, yes I know Gmail isn't perfect either, but in the Unicode age there is no excuse for dingbat fonts. Even a text/plain email can contain smilies if encoded with a Unicode charset (try U+263A). -- Thomas Koster
