The answer to your question is yes, you are basically alone with your
problems. For the vast majority of users, it is much faster and there are no
problems. There are a few who have problems but in the cases I'm aware of, a
manual reboot fixed the problems (this is a second reboot, after the one the
update required).

If you want MS to do the work, open a support incident. They'll probably
have you uninstall some or all of the updates, or make a new profile or
restart in safe mode... it's a lot faster to try some things yourself - you
won't get paid for it regardless. You already did the reboot. Try safe mode
and a new profile... or save time and uninstall.

Now... if you upgraded from an older version and did not make a new profile
and especially if you are using a pst created in Outlook 2002 or older, make
a new profile. You should make a new pst if you are using an older ansi
format pst.

Diane, you do realize what you are suggesting? I am supposed to do the
work of MS and receive no pay?

My initial question - am I alone with the noticeably slower behavior with
these new updates?

Thanks, DH

The initial load should be slow as it needed to update the pst/ost but
after that is should be faster. If everything was installed at once, I'd
probably uninstall some of the updates and reboot. (Windows will
reinstall them later.) As for which updates to uninstall, I have no idea
which one(s) would be the best candidate - maybe all the windows updates?

I just got back from almost a week away and just installed more than ten
Windows Updates. I see an Office Suite Pack (SP2) for Office was
installed.

This is not a big deal but when I click on In Box when, say, Calendar is
displayed, I see, for a split second, a blank window that states
'loading' or something like that. I _never_ had that very slight delay
before. FWIW, I also have rebooted to see if that might have an effect;
it didn't.

Am I alone with this? I can live with this but I always thought things
got faster .... not s l o w e r.
