Summary: It's OK
Comment: If you don't have IT support, this is a hard product to use. For families or small offices, there are easier-to-use and cheaper options.
But this is the industry standard. It's a fine product. Good news, it's Office. Bad news, it's Office.

Summary: Great Features But Web 2.0 Wins The Day for My Needs
Comment: I have been a Microsoft Office (small company) user for years but have never familiarized myself with the Outlook software. I know many satisfied Outlook users so I decided this year to take a investigate what, if anything, I was missing.
I loaded Outlook 2007 and then played with it. Outlook is all that it is advertised to be "you can effectively manage your sales activities and provide better customer service with contact history, source, status, sales amount, closing potential, e-mail messages, phone calls, tasks, appointments, documents and notes, all referenced in one place." It also has what most previous users may find to be a significant improvement - a new Project Tasks feature which allows the user to assign tasks to others and automatically transfer the task information to their task lists, a To-Do Bar and Outlook reminders. And there are many other touted improvements according to the manufacturers description.
Many of Outlook's tools would have been useful to me in the past but, since I have not used this data management tool, I have little invested and am not wedded to it. I am glad. As a mobile executive, I am committed to Web 2.0 and only want to add those data management tools that are hosted. Desktop based software is obsolete. If Outlook were an Internet hosted application, I would be an enthusiastic user. My rating is based Outlook's features which are exceptional. But, I do not intend to become a user.

Summary: Slow and doesn't solve the real sales issues
Comment: This product is Outlook with an add-on of "Business Contacts". They are not well integrated, but more importantly they don't really let you track sales opportunities, contacts, and the usual array of sales relationships in anything like an intuitive way. Do it the MS way or forget it.
On my computer it runs SLOW- I have an IBM x60S, a solid XP machine, but it is such bloatware that it slows the whole machine to a crawl.
Overall, best to try something else. I certainly will.

Summary: No different than Outlook 2003
Comment: I really didn't see a difference with 2007 than 2003. The only thing MS has seemed to add was the use of RSS feeds - which is a cool addition if you like to have all your feeds in one place to read.
I didn't have any issues with upgrading from 2003.

Summary: Outlook manages
Comment: I've been using Outlook for over 10 years, and every time Office upgrades it's difficult to figure out all the new tricks to the stuff you knew how to do backwards. This version is no different, but I have to admit the interface really has changed. You will spend a little bit more time looking for things that were more readily available before.
However, there are more ways to organize and save time in your email and calendar by color coding and linking to projects and personal/business. Inviting attendees is the same, and now publishing or meeting online is easier.
You are able to organize contact information in one place and then sub-divide it into work, personal, etc and also link this information into the other areas of your Office products.
I've always enjoyed using Outlook and the few times that I've had to work without it I've been lost. This new version takes some getting used to, but I've really enjoyed the calendar sharing and the meeting inviting abilities on top of the others that I use regularly, like calendar, task list, contacts, email, and mail merge with other programs. I did use it on Webmail, but our server didn't enable as many of the services as I would have liked.
