I’ve been running the Beta of Office 2010 since it first came out, and I will be the first to admit, at home, I run Outlook the most.
I will be the first to say I never liked Outlook when it first came out and hated Outlook Express. For years, I ran a third party program out of Dallas, can’t remember the name, but I actually have a Install CD for it around here somewhere.
I think it took getting a Windows Mobile phone and getting an Exchange account through MyHosting.com to really like it.
I now use Outlook exclusively to do personal email, stuck with Groupwise to do school email though sometimes I cheat and use Outlook to do that too.
One of the things I really like is that two groups I deal with use Google calendar – the place I dog train at and school. So I will download the calendar from either group, move the events I’m interested in to my calendar and I’m done.
Easy peasy.
However, I haven’t been using the task portion enough, and that’s one of my summer resolutions. The tasks are there, but I don’t always mark the appropriately.
I even do twitter with Outlook using TwInBox. I really like it. Especially now that you can mark favorites. I hope the next permutation is to unmark favorites.
