Message: [QUOTE="E-Double, post: 4637309"] Some of the people use Outlook - not all. And, as eluded to earlier, the ones that do use it generally only use it to read other people's calendars (i.e. they are not inputting data). So that is pretty straight forward. All of our users can choose which email client they want to use, and we have about a dozen that do in fact choose Outlook. But the vast majority of users prefer to use OE for email. It is a very easy and intuitive program, and most of the users are just clerical staff (ie not IT personnel or MIS staff), so this should not be surprising to anybody. In fact, it is pretty 'logical' to me that users should be able to choose the MS email client that they feel more comfortable with - especially when its free, they often use it at home, and it provides all of the functionality that they need. It surprises me that somebody would not get that for some reason ... All of the computers that we order are ordered with Outlook because it comes with Office SBE. We do not always know who or when users will be needing to view other user's calendars (eg for meetings, etc...), so it does not make any sense whatsoever for us to have to go to every machine and uninstall Outlook - and then likely have to reinstall it later b/c one person has to view a calendar a few times - just because some exec made a retarded decision to change users' default email client settings. It would make much more sense if MS changed the way the Winupdates works in this regard (ie leave existing default settings as they are before the updates are run). e. [/QUOTE]
