If you say that Outlook 2003 is better and faster with client-side operations, you're dead wrong. I detailed the downgrade in today's Windows Fanatics newsletter. Too bad someone hasn't developed a specific benchmarking utility so that I could prove (beyond a shadow of a doubt) how OL2k3's code is crappier. You may think the program is working fine, but after using it for a couple of months, play with OL2k again and you'll see exactly what I mean. Upgrade at your own peril – and start looking for a better Windows PIM. I stand by my original statement(s).
