| 831520 | 2009-11-19 18:25:00 | Oh, and by the way.. after I told it specifically to not uninstall any other versions, it uninstalled my Outlook 2007. F********* yay for 2010! You can only have one version of Outlook installed. :) (The installer should have told you that. :p) |

| 831521 | 2009-11-19 19:53:00 | Well I have been running the technical preview for awhile now so I uninstalled that and put the beta on. I think that for home users it is very similar to 2007. It seems that most of the upgrades are targeted at businesses. The web integration with Office is good but I don't think I will ever use it! Microsoft are following google into cloud computing with the introduction of their online applications. According to lifehacker quick steps (lifehacker.com) is 2010's killer feature. I really like the "file" tab. It includes all your options and document information in one place. Also the introduction of the ribbon into Outlook was always going to happen. Overall I don't think the jump will be as large as 03 was to 07. But there is a lot of new features for advanced users and businesses. |

| 831523 | 2009-11-20 00:15:00 | Just being able to customise the ribbon is a killer feature for me! Can you customise it to NOT be a ribbon? |

| 831525 | 2009-11-20 00:45:00 | Well, seems more responsive, but appears to be pretty much the same. Nothing really mind blowing about it... Oh, and by the way.. after I told it specifically to not uninstall any other versions, it uninstalled my Outlook 2007. F********* yay for 2010! You have been taking lessons from Hone |

Oh dear. Never mind. Reinstalled now. I shall learn to never do that for future reference. |

| 831528 | 2009-11-21 05:53:00 | Can you customise it to NOT be a ribbon? Why would you want to do that? It just takes a little bit of getting used to, and then you're a hell of alot better off using the ribbon than the old structure. If you really dislike using the ribbon, put your most used commands on the QAT. |

If you really dislike using the ribbon, put your most used commands on the QAT. I can't see why I should, I am perfectly happy using the old one and know exactly what I'm doing. For me it would just be "change for the sake of change" as I have no desire or need to use a different style. Even if it is easier to use, that doesn't change the fact that I can very easily use the old style already. In which case, what's the point? |
