I just installed O12 and well I'm hooked, literally I love the sucker this is going to be a real cool Office. The new ribbon takes some getting used to but once you get over that it Rocks!
Outlook 12 has a new To-Do Bar that is really really really cool and should have been in the 2003 version but hey can't get everything or else there is no need for a new version.
I you have a chance to try it out you should. B1 is a bit sluggish but it quite stable.
There are a few issues with some 3rd party office add-in that don’t behave very well namely Mind Manager which cause my Outlook to max out the CPU and be stuck. Once I figure this out I just remove the integration and all is good now.
Should be a fun ride in that beta as well, is it only me or do you guys feel we live in beta software these days... ;-)
Cheers,
