is outlook 2003-2007 worth it?
 

I am using outlook 2003 heavily and couple add-in installed as well. Since
2007 is out there, I wonder if upgrading is necessary, is there any major
change and additional useful feature in the new version?

Will there be any problem just upgrading outlook 2003 (part of office 2003)
to retail version of outlook 2007?
I'll appreciate anybody here who had already used outlook 2007 and would
like to share your outlook 2007 experience.

It seems to be a bit slower during the send/receive operation. If you plan
to use MS Word as your e-mail editor, both must be at the same release. I am
a heavy user of distribution lists and resent the removal of the update list
keyboard short cut: Ctrl+W. It seems to be a step backward in accessability
items. At least they didn't take away the ability to send and receive e-mail
messages.

In the final analysis, I wouldn't spend a dime for the upgrade (I didn't, it
was a free upgrade as a result of attending a Microsoft Launch event) as
there is no new function that is apparant. The Microsoft Office product page
touts the following as "What's new in the products?" - "...new user
interface..." - "...See the new user interface..." - "...details on the new
user interface..."

Where's the bacon?

A lot of the improvements are seen using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007. For Outlook 2007 alone, you can now send your calendar to people, publish to the Internet, RSS Feeds, calendar overlay, improved GUI (tasks, mail, calendar, to-do on one page), etc.

Using Exchange 2007 gives users more granular control over Out of Office, permissions, etc.

I love the new OFFICE 2007 programs.
The RSS feeds into OUTLOOK are great. The improvements to WORD and
POWERPOINT are wonderful.
Whenever I have to help someone on a computer with OFFICE 2003, I really
miss the 2007 features.

I personally would only upgrade if you do the entire suite. Some features
don't work if you aren't using apps from all the same suite.

I'm not sure that it's OUTLOOK. My OUTLOOK 2007 is same speed as all
previous OUTLOOKs.

From our testing this has alot to do with mailstore size. Smaller stores
(under 1 gig) seem to be about the same speed as 2003 - larger stores and
drastically slower.

Yes. This is a documented issue.
