Hi Matt,I have to use Office as it is a part of my employer’s standard operating environment. So I have grown accustomed to it – warts and all.I now really regret posting that dumb car analogy of mine. Everyone is most welcome to come and drive in my neighbourhood! You will recognise me by the large foot in my mouth.
LMAO it was to good to resist.
Nothing you have missed that will bit outlook, but the native app only supports exchange activesync and IMAP and it is something that may bite you if your the unfortunate tech support for family and friend. The ISPs of the world are not in the habit of handing out IMAP, it costs to much to support and consumes way more bandwidth. Very few are paying the activesync tax except mobile phone makers and then it really only works with Outlook.com.I don’t use the Windows 8 Mail app – I am a lost cause and use Outlook (Office 2013). So I guess I have dodged a bullet. Or is there something lurking there with Outlook that I just haven’t encountered yet?
My point is that there are consumer unfriendly decisions in Windows 8. I have not installed my copy, I freely admit that. I am looking for a good reason to upgrade and I really have yet to see one. It used to be I wanted the latest version for some feature or other. These days there are no such features. Where are all the good features that were dropped from Vista, instead we get a "unified interface across devices"
