Might take some time to get used to the Interface Changes in Microsoft’s Upcoming version of Outlook. They claim moving the preview pane over to the right gives you 40% more reading room, but the middle pane feels awfully trapped in this configuration. I do like the idea of being able to dynamically select whether I want to read mail as HTML or Text (although I’m not exactly sure what their feature point: “Blocks external Internet content in HTML messages” means). And, I love the idea of being able to save Advanced Search folders. It seems like I’m always running the same types of searches so that would be a huge time saver.
It’s mostly moot for me since I work primarily on a Mac, and who knows when (if ever) we’ll get an Outlook update for that platform. They haven’t even come out with one that runs in OS X yet. Still, about 90% of my work happens in e-mail these days, and our company uses Exchange, so it’s interesting to see where they’re going with their client software.
