Strengths:	Did not have to spend big bucks on the office suite of which no one likes. But when it comes to email I get a lot of requests for outlook 2007
Weaknesses:	Does not upgrade properly

Full User Summary
Good alternative to purchasing the expensive suite. But has problems upgrading when you have an older version of office and install this as a standalone. When you go to upgrade it microsoft thinks you have office 2007 and will not upgrade properly.

Strengths:	Easy to install. Conversion of messages and addresses from WINDOWS MAIL (VISTA) very easy. Lots of configuration options available with OUTLOOK.
Weaknesses:	There are many configuration options so it takes some time to study and play around with the software to get it to look and work the way you want.

Full User Summary
I am used to using OUTLOOK EXPRESS and WINDOWS VISTA. I was used to the look and feel of these products. OUTLOOK has a large number of configuration options that allowed me to adjust the way it looked and worked. I have been using OUTLOOK for about 1 week now and I am still tweaking the settings. I switched to OUTLOOK because I was changing from a PALM based PDA to a SYMBIAN based used (NOKIA PHONE) and the only way that I found to convert my names/addresses and appointments was via OUTLOOK. In any event, all devices and software are working now and almost working together. As mentioned, there is a lot of tweaking of the features and functions that I have yet to complete.

Strengths:	Easy installation and still the best email program around.
Weaknesses:	It takes a while to find the command you need if you are used to prior versions.

The installation went smoothly and so far there have been no operational problems. Although this product is a bit expensive for Outlook only, the price that I found on PriceGrabber.com could not be beat.
