This update to Outlook has so many good features that we're prepared to forgive its split personality of both menus/toolbars on the main window and the Ribbon UI elsewhere. Users have been asking for calendar overlays, time zones, better search and better email editing for ages - and Microsoft has now delivered big time.

When I upgraded to Outlook 2007 I just returned from a period when I was using Thunderbird. The reason for me to change back to Microsoft wasn't the quality of its products but the incompatibility between Thunderbird and lookeen my one and only Outlook search tool. I am content but not very satisfied with it. This is a warning Microsoft, if you don't do better next time I just wait till lookeen works with Thunderbird to leave your e-mail-client forever.
