Nothing new in Outlook 2007?

[fganter]

I installed Outlook 2007 (beta) and don't seem to really see anything new
with the product. In fact, it doesn't even have the tool strips that Word
and Excel have. Am I missing something?

 

[Ben Schorr]

Hello fganter,

You must be. Don't you see the To-Do Bar for one example? Have you looked
at the Calendar folder?

Hello there. Any word on how to keep Outlook 2007 Beta from restarting
repeatedly after start-up conflict with Business Contact Manager? I'm not
able to keep the program open for more than 30 seconds or so. Cheers.

Disable BCM?

Did you install the Office 2007 version of BCM? If so, you might want to ask on the microsoft.public.outlook.bcm group.

TO-DO Bar, much enhanced calendar, built-in RSS reader to name but a few
features..

 

[fganter]

sure I saw these. very minor. Is there nothing more substantial?

 

[Ben M. Schorr - MVP]

Hello fganter,

Minor? What were you expecting, dancing girls and cognac? There's a
pretty long list of new features in Outlook 2007 -- what would you consider
substantial?

The calendar changes are minor? You're kidding, right?
