    Using Outlook 2007 yet?

    Outlook 2007, as you may know, uses the retarded Word HTML rendering engine. This is akin to playing Crysis on a GeForce 2... it just shouldn't be done. The only difference is that while Crysis won't run on a GeForce 2, HTML e-mails will render in HTML... just very badly.

    That includes the HEXUS.newsletter. So, to see how quickly I must implement a newer HEXUS.newsletter design, I'd like to know who uses Outlook 2007 already.

    Poll appearing shortly... thanks guys.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    2007 at home. Office 2007 won't happen at work for a long long time, if ever. The next release is more likely.

    The only newsletter i;ve recieved since the switch that doens't render properly (that i've noticed) is the Nectar one. I think it's the background images that break.

    The calendar look vastly improved, i just need to import my work calendar to play around with the data, got nothing stored at home

    Only use Outlook 2007 for syncing the mobile (and at work PDAs) through ActiveSync. Thunderbird is my personal client for POP, and I use the GMail web interface on my main email account.
