Microsoft Outlook: Worth It? [Posted on 2002-01-20]
I have been using Microsoft Outlook for almost three years now, and to tell you the truth I like it a lot! Recently, I upgraded to version 2002 and was impressed by the features in the application. The integration of Hotmail is not a new feature but an easier approach to setting-up accounts with the e-mail service. Other features such as organizing e-mail whether its junk or something important is also good, but I think users will find more features when it comes to integration with other Office applications such as Word. Say for example, your typing a letter and you insert a person's name, through the use of Smart Tags Word will ask you if you would like to add it to your contacts or schedule a meeting in Outlook, a handy feature, but for me it's not really necessary. This version, I think is worth the upgrade it's much improved compared to Outlook 97, 98 and "2000" in some ways, users will some how find other useful and interesting features in this application. Remember, Outlook 2000 was always known as a virus harbor, and it was always difficult to set-up accounts with hotmail, so if there is at least one program out of the core Office XP applications, I suggest Outlook 2002. Like I said, there are some new cool features I have not yet discovered.

Rating Questions [Posted on 2002-08-13]
Although you state this is Outlook 2002, I received Outlook 2000 [the box clearly states it is Outlook 2000 -- with an exclamation point after 2000 -- i.e. 2000!). I have an XP and requested the latest version of Outlook (2002) not 2000. Also, I filled out the form for a rebate and never received it. I have been charged your (then) full price for the item. How can I rate version 2002 when I received 2000 (which I already had)?

Much Slower than Outlook 2000 an not much different. [Posted on 2002-08-17]
Wow, this is an upgrade,NOT!! You've got to be kidding me. New features are mostly worthless and it runs much slower than 2000 on my Pentium 1.4 ghz with 512 MB RAM.

Not only will you be disappointed, but you will have wasted your money. I enjoy MS Office, but their upgrades are no longer worth paying for. To boot, we now have to activate our product through Microsoft...what a joke!

If your new to computing, be smart and look for Office Suite alternatives.

Outlook 2002 slower than Outlook 2000 [Posted on 2003-08-17]
Besides Hotmail support, there really is no difference between Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002 except for speed. If you already have Outlook 2000, DO NOT UPGRADE! Why? Because it is slower than Outlook 2000 (at least on my machine). In Outlook 2000, I used to be able to click on a message and it would instantly pop up. In Outlook 2003, it takes a good 2-3 seconds. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

MIcrosoft Outlook [Posted on 2005-02-10]
Probably the worst program known to mankind. Will destroy your computer. Consistently crashes and renders other programs inoperable. Don't know why Gates isn't in jail for this one.
