"We all how to use a PC - now fix the issues - stop developing for the 72 people who don't."
Pros: There were no animals harmed in the making of this software
Cons: No FIXES to THE SAME ISSUES YEAR AFTER YEAR!
Summary: What is it the MS doesn't understand? Have they tried their own products? Do they only give them to people who've never used a computer before and say how would you change it? Where are they finding all these 70 plus year olds and people who've been locked up their entire lives?
Outlook Issues
1Does not let you open more than one outlook profile simultaneously.
2Often retrieves data from one account into another within the same profile.
3Does not close down reliably so when you attempt to switch between outlook profiles(since it won't let you open both simultaneously) it opens the same one even if you wait a minute.
4. Using the search function in sent folders or your entire mailbox still returns only the FROM field - not sure why MS people don't ever think we want to know who it went TO- Is this such a hard thing? Yes you can customize columns after EACH search to get the TO field but I'm pretty sure when I'm seaching MY SENT folder I already know who the e-mail was FROM - what I need to know is who did it go TO.
2 BCM - A GREAT PRODUCT - Completely GIMPED by MS.
All it needs to do is sync the most important contact info - name, address, phone number, e-mail address with contacts in outlook so that it is available via OWA and WM5 - no simple copy tool included - making it completely useless for any remote data work.
3. MS Access - no OLE or wrapper or built in handler for JPGs and other picture formats. Why make a database that can't natively handle pictures. How can you do a decent catalog, inventory, personnel list etc, if you make it so complicated that you have to use code for pictures? Might as well hire a Oracle programmer if you aren't going to make a simple database for non-techies.
Excel -
Doesn't easily remove data/links. Copy and paste a table showing prices on any product - e.g. E6700 processors. Now go ahead and delete the rows or data. The "buy now" link is still there - isn't it?
Word -
Doesn't let you easily change spacing between paragraphs and sentences - e.g. this paragraph 1.2 next sentence 1.5 etc. If you want to vary randomly and between lines different when jumping to a new line.
