Stick with 2003
Horrible. I recently upgraded from Outlook 2003. I never had a problem with 2003. Outlook 2007 freezes 90% of the time I use it, locks up on downloading email, and frequently has to start in "safe" mode because it claims it was not shut down properly. Tremendous waste of time.
are the features better than 2003? I don't think so. Although I can't really say for sure --- I have such a hard time using it that I haven't had the chance to explore the new features. I do know that it is much more difficult to assign categories to calendar entries, and the shortcut keys are not the same.
A quick internet search shows that this is common. I recommend sticking with 2003 as long as you can. It's easier to use, and more stable.

Outlook Calendar
Love it! Would find it difficult to stay so organized and on top of bills, appointments, family member birthdays, etc. without it. Well worth the money spent!

More Outlook
This item (Outlook 2007) was purchased for use in a company environment. We already are using this product and it works very well for us. The purchase was smooth and quick and the price was good.

If you are jumping from
1. Office XP or older, this product is a great leap forward. A lot of new features added and neat.
2. Office 2003, do not expect too much. But it is more organized and fancy-looking.

These guys wouldn't know a user interface from an elbow
On the edge of the box (several ounces of high quality plastic, over an inch thick containing 1 DVD and a product key slip) is a pair of ribbed tabs to hold the inner box by when you pull it out.
The more firmly you squeeze the ribbed tabs, the more firmly you lock the inner box into the outer. If you ignore the tabs it opens easy!
Who designed this. It must be the same guy who put the OK button on a VGA resolution Display Control Panel, off the bottom of the screen, so that you couldn't increase the resolution.
He probably thought up the form "Do you really want to Quit?" with "Continue" and "Quit" buttons.
The software? - as feature ridden as the previous version - which isn't to say it does a lot. Just that it needs a lot of features in order to do a bit.
Lets hope Bill's exit timing from Microsoft proves to be as timely as Tony's from No 10.
Come on Amazon, send them a complimentary beginners guide to user interface design. It can be your penance for having a 5 star scoring system where the user cannot select zero stars. 8^)
