Or even a few dozen on a properly configured Exchange 2007/2010 environment. It is a tremendous time-saver on the back-end assuming the server side is configured appropriately.

I'm pretty sure that the 2007 version didn't either.

This could the opportunity to use an email client that isn't dumbed-down and crippled. ;)

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. I beta tested 2010 and I wasn't too convinced when it had to load up the program with a load box and seemed to download itself every time I ran the program. I don't care, but 2003 was my favourite version by far... too bad it's hard to go back!

??

I quickly junked the 60 day eval copy of 2010 on my new netbook and happily (well, not happily, since MS Word is such a crap program compared to Word Perfect) installed Word (and Power Point and Excel - no need for Access) 2003 for those who insist on sending me Word files.

I mean it's not worth trying to find/buy a MS Office 2003 CD and licence. I am content with 2007 for the time being!

And one can make a case that Outlook 2010 is the best of the apps, with the ability to view small calendars and your to-do list on the same screen as your inbox, colors, and associated stuff.

Of course, to this day the main Calendar month view in Outlook will show you only the current month...even if today is the 30th or 31st. Sigh.

I'm apparently one of the four people on the planet who liked 2007's Office Button in the top left corner of apps - it's gone in Office 2010.

Professional Academic does though, and it is about $100. Luckily my daughter is a college student and we bought this for her, the program allows you to install it on up to three computers. It even includes access. It is available to any student or teacher.

Each country has some variation of Microsoft's "Ultimate Deal" for Students where you can buy MS Office at a large discount. This is the page from Canada for example.

:confused:

It defaults to that view but if you scroll up/down using the scroll-bar on the right you can get a split month:

For me, the enhancements to Outlook alone were worth the upgrade.

As noted above, if you survived the upgrade to 2007, you'll be fine with this one.

Well, duh. Of course I can scroll. But I want it to default to always show one week behind and 3-4 weeks ahead of NOW - a rolling view that would be completely intuitive, if MS could ever implement it.

Over a decade later, I'm still waiting.

(Oh, and - the moment you click away from your split month calendar and go to your inbox, guess what Outlook shows when you go back to your Calendar?)

Which of course I knew which is why I pointed out this is not what I am using right now. My comment was directed to the person who suggested that version would be good for me. It isn't since it doesn't have Outlook.

You can open multiple Outlook windows at once. Perhaps a solution to your problem is to open a window which you leave on your calendar with the arrangement you want. The various open views will also show up when you right click the Outlook tray icon so you can quickly bring up the one you want. If you have multiple screens you could leave the calendar on one screen and your inbox on another (I do this sometimes), also.

Somewhat of a workaround, and I would sooooo prefer MS actually add a feature occasionally, but I'll give it a go.
