I can barely write an email, Outlook will hang while I type. Unbelieveable that my ten human fingers are faster than a computer capable of doing millions of calculations per second \u2026 I am wasting 2+ hours daily waiting for Outlook.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Why do users care so much about Outlook? Maybe because it is where they live; email, contacts, appointments, everything is there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;At least, it is where&nbsp;they live at the moment. Nobody can afford to waste 2 hours a day on slow software.<\/p>\n<p>I realise that not every Outlook 2007 user is affected &#8211; just the ones with the largest mailboxes. These are the people who use Outlook most intensively. Microsoft should give this urgent attention.<\/p>\n<p><div class=\"wlWriterSmartContent\" id=\"0767317B-992E-4b12-91E0-4F059A8CECA8:b1cb83bc-bb96-48c7-8b83-c527f9dad67c\" contenteditable=\"false\" style=\"padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-top: 0px\">Technorati tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/outlook%202007\" rel=\"tag\">outlook 2007<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/office%202007\" rel=\"tag\">office 2007<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/technorati.com\/tags\/microsoft\" rel=\"tag\">microsoft<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comments to blogs are less visible than the blogs themselves, especially to feed subscribers, yet they can be equally or more interesting than the original entry.
