Something I never understood about the standard Mac software was the separation of utilities. In Outlook my E-mail, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes are integrated into one application. Below are some other reasons why I say that Outlook 2011 for Mac is AMAZING. Oh, the joy since that day! I can send E-mails at blinding speed. Once the installation completed, I looked over the new icons on my Dock, and what is this I see? Is that a big capital “O”? No… it can’t be!? Microsoft Outlook has arrived for OS X. I didn’t read anything about it but I knew Office 2008 was dated and buggy so I picked up a copy. While perusing the Apple store I noticed that Microsoft released Office 2011. Of course, I would never actually do this as my productivity would plummet. In my frustration, I had the thought of switching to a PC just to experience a real E-mail client. At this point I wanted to rip my hair out. Also, if you are using Exchange 2010 with Mail and you enable the new Archive Mailbox feature, Mail will no longer connect to the Exchange server. I was excited about Snow Leopard because I knew the new Mail could handle Exchange, and it can, but only if you’re using 2007 or below. Oh, and do you have Exchange 2010? Sorry, Mail can’t utilize its features – not even push. I used Apple’s Mail application to send emails throughout the day, but using it almost drove me to start handwriting letters it would crash incessantly. But a trusted email software was always missing. I could modify any file on a website in a matter of seconds using Coda, flip through databases and execute queries with Sequel Pro, schedule upcoming tasks with Things, and the list goes on. As a Mac user I have been exposed to a plethora of amazing software that Windows developers cannot come close to replicating. Up until 2 days ago, I always felt like something was missing.
