It's definitely a lot nicer and unless you are 'power user', the ribbon is
really easy to get used to. I'm biased (because I support outlook), but I
think the features in outlook 2007 are well worth the upgrade - although if
you can get along with windows live mail and vista's calendar, word/excel
2002 might work ok on vista.

Outlook 2002 is 6 yrs old, 2 versions removed, less secure, is long past
support, and was not tested with Vista for all of those reasons. In my
tests and based on complaints I've seen, your problem is not typical -
its more like something is not set up correct in your profile. Like maybe
authentication. In any event, Microsoft will not fix it, for the reasons
stated in the first 21 words. Many people assume MS purposely made it not
work in Vista so people would upgrade, that's not true. They made changes
to the OS that meant some older software may not work in Vista. If
anything happens to work (and much does) then fine, if not so be it.
changing Vista to work with older software would be too cost prohibitive
and introduce too many bugs.


Sounds like 'O2007, here I come.'
thanks
