    SP2 popped up for install when I booted the PC up this morning. Really impressed with the performance imrovements with Outlook. I have about 250MB for the personal PST and just under 4GB in the archive PST - the largest folder in there contains over 177000 messages. Switching between any of those folders is almost instant now, before it took a while to display resulting in a temporarily frozen app. It does take a little while before the item count is updated correctly, but having the ability to get to the data quickly more than makes up for that.

    Hope this isn't something which degrads over time ...
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Yes, I've always left it on, still do. Although it'll be one of the first things that gets turned off tomorrow as my SSD arrived today

    (still downloading, but I really hope they've fixed it, as you can imagine, it is such an annoying and major oversight, essentially since it's probably the best piece of software in the 07 catalogue)

    Looks good, but couldn't they have added proper implementation of Harvard Referencing, since I consider the referencing system to by Word 2007's best feature.

    Oh, and I seem to have a new bug whereby feathering delete in order to delete several emails quickly in Outlook triggers an error about deleting 4000 emails at once.
