I had actually found the smile/frown tool a few days ago; just neglected to mention it. I've been sending screenshots like crazy. ;-) Thanks for taking the time to comment...

It's about the new Office UI. I'm also linking to a post where he recommends a tool for giving feedback. http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/05/26/607768.aspx Nice blog by the way. Cheers, Pharod Hi Devin,

Unfortunately, I think the new layout looks pretty ugly. Everything is much more difficult to find now. I guess they could call it intuitive, but I just call it confusing.

First, the Outlook To-Do is great. Like I said, the features that don't work (mobile integration, Internet Calendars) will be great when they work. Access is very pretty but the ribbon is still a little counter-intuitive. I like being able to create my Custom grouping. I've noticed the applications crash with Ultra Mon installed. It installs buttons at the top of the titlebar for moving windows between monitors. Whenever I close the program it crashes. I'm extremely grateful of the reverse compatability. I want to test this out as much as possible without screwing up co-workers/friends when sending things. Will Outlook ever take on the ribbon? It's obviously not following the exact same layout as the rest of the suite. Anyway, a dozen or so reports have been sent off already. I'm not signed up as a tester through Connect, is there any way I can still submit bug reports? Hi Melissa, I appreciate you stopping by. First, the Outlook To-Do is great.
