 Excellent business management software March 21, 2008
Since I do not have a Vista machine, I got help from an expert at Microsoft.
It's easy to install if you have Windows Vista. Otherwise, don't use Outlook 2007.
When I installed mine, I have email accounts on yahoo, comcast, other places that my friend Outlook goes out and gets the email so I can manage it all from one place. Great feature.
So Outlook is one stop shopping for many email accounts, but it also helps you keep track of client information, phone calls...all touches.
So in my internal "sales" role, I can see where people are at a glance in the commitment cycle. And I can do marketing campaigns directly from Outlook but I haven't used that feature.
Dislikes... sometimes it's a bit slow to load. I think that's more of Vista problem than anything.
I've been a strong advocate for Outlook. Great program, mature, plays well with other MSFT programs life Office and is the standard throughout businessland.
Sounds like this is stable and ready to use right out of the box -- and that says a lot for any new program
 Outlook 2007 March 21, 2008

I'm not exactly sure why Microsoft sells this product on it's own. I prefer to buy the entire Microsoft Office bundle; outlook is the office program I use least (except for email). Like others, I find this version of Outlook to be a bit slow. Sometimes I have to wait 20-30 seconds for my email, over an extremely fast internet connection.
However some of the new features are very good, such as exchange server and sharepoint 3.0. At work, sharepoint is used effectively to connect our large work team (consisting of over 150 employees) by posting events, information, honors, and opinions. Another great feature is the ability to share your calender schedule through emails. Another good new feature is the auto-assitant feature, which allows you to send an automated message to people trying to email you when you're out. This feature was available in the previous edition, but now you can program the assistant to come on automatically at certain times (in case you forget to turn it on).
Graphically the layout of Outlook is better in this version, Unfortunately most users won't notice these new features right away, because they are not as obvious as Outlooks pretty new layout.
Meet or beat the recommended HW minimums March 21, 2008
I installed Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager on a Windows XP machine with a 1.6GHz processor and probably the minimum RAM recommended. The rest of my Windows Office suite is Office 2000. We used Outlook Express before installing this upgrade. I've only just begun to work with the contact manager aspect of the software since I'm wary of it. In the past I've hated ACT and QuickBooks Customer Manager, so I'm feeling very hesitant to invest time and effort importing data.
Pluses: I found the installation to be straight-forward and reasonable in time length. I was very impressed that Outlook imported not only our Outlook Express address book directly (didn't have to export from Express and then import), but also flawlessly imported the mail messages and the folders that were existing in Express. This had been a major concern, and there was no problem whatsoever.
Minuses: Outlook 2007 is a resource hog. Not only does it run slowly, but other programs chug or crash. I've had quite a few Word 2000 crashes when Outlook 2007 was closing or loading. Learning curve for the new interface is pretty steep when moving from an Office 2000 Outlook Express to 2007 Outlook. This is to be expected, but should still be a consideration when deciding whether to install this on your computer. For example, the other person who shares this computer is a senior citizen and has been very frusted that she can't find things like saving attachments because the interface is different. We've also had quite a bit of trouble with the account setup process. On the day I installed Outlook, I successfully created the two email accounts (ISP plus web domain email at a different company) and successfully sent and received mail. The next day, we could receive find but not send and the software refused to store the correct password...kept asking for the password every few seconds as it tried over and over to send an outgoing email. It took me about 45 mintues to find a work around, but we'll see if it still works tomorrow.
A lot more than I needed March 20, 2008
Since I already have an older version Microsoft Office, I had Outlook but not with all the updated features this version has. Of course several I did not need, but may use in the future if I keep it installed. As others has noted, spell checker does not work if not using Word 2007, which I'm not. Also it does seem slower, but then maybe this 2004 computer is just tired and overloaded. Since i recently bought a new laptop, I may end up getting the 2007 Home/Student set that has Word, Excel, and PowerPoint since it permits 2-3 installations for an economical price. If I don't though, I will revert back to the older version. If you are the type who likes all the bangs and whistles that are the latest thing, then this program may please you.
 Good if a Tad Slow March 20, 2008
I hadn't tried Outlook before, so unlike other reviewers, I can't compare this to previous versions. The program is a little slow, but I've come to expect that from Microsoft products. Microsoft does plenty of things well; being fast is not one of them. Still, for a small business, the Outlook program is great. The interface is easy to use and the program is quite intuitive. Oh, and I had Word 2007 previously installed in my computer, so I had no problem using things like spell check.
