This is precisely why outlook is the only MS application I have installed on
my work machines. Apart from development environments, VS 2003,2005,2008 &
2010 and what comes bundled with windows stupid .... I mean windows 7. Most
of which I don't use anyway.
With the entire company using an MS exchange server and sharing calendars
and contacts I'm forced to use outlook. Let's face it, not everything
microsoft do is bad. Just most things.

The problems with Microsoft come when you have bulk licencing agreements and
are forced to install their products to comply with their licences. Then
management says "We're paying for the licence, we may as well use it." This
makes change very difficult.
