Microsoft Outlook 2007 — 

I just downloaded Office 2007.  I've used Outlook forever - here are the changes that I don't care for in Outlook 2007:

- Can't create a personal address book.  The default directs you to your contacts, therefore when you want to send an email to multiple recipients, you have to go through a ton of info (i.e., email addy, phone, fax line, etc).

-I had to create a copy of the contacts folder, rename it, delete the unnecessary info and make that new folder the address book default.  LOTS of work.

- If a picture is embedded in the email, you can no longer right click and save the picture to a file.  You have to copy the picture, open a picture viewer/editor program (doesn't come with your pc haha) and paste the picture there and save.   TOO much work.

- When Outlook 2007 checks for new mail, you get that little envelope icon (double while while checking) in the tray.  However, it gets stuck there (like it's always checking) until you waive the mouse over it.

You're right - too much work to get a picture that's embedded in an email. You made good points about what you don't like about Microsoft Outlook. But you didn't say what made you like it enough to give it four stars. So what did you like about it?
