I'm having a /deja vu/ here. A Microsoft MVP said something about this
product...
http://chris.pirillo.com/2006/05/26/65-reasons-why-outlook-2007-will-suck/
And here's just one which I spotted yesterday...
IE7 breaks Outlook Printing

| Beware, be very aware. Upgrading to Internet Explorer 7 can break
| the printing of email headers from Outlook.

Weird stuff....
Are you being served?

| Like many Microsoft desktop users this week I clicked on the icon
| 'upgrade to Explorer 7'. Mistake. Outlook and Express disappeared.
| As did the Explorer multi-choice menu. Panic. Has it deleted all
| my emails?

IE7 Breaks Outlook 2003
,----[ Quote ]
| So, what did I do? I removed IE 7 from all of my users computers and
| faster than you can say "microsoft needs help", they were all
| printing Outlook emails with headers again.
|
| Im in the process of reviewing Office 2007 and Windows Vista,
| and it wont be much different than this review.

Can you blame the US DOT, who recently banned Outlook 2007? If you visit
relevant forums or do some Web searches you'll find plenty of rants and
identify many prevalent bugs. Didn't you post something about Exchange
issues earlier today/yesterday...?
I truly hope these issues finally expose the weaknesses of Microsoft's
semi-baked, deadline-driven software releases.
