Why do people get pissed at Microsoft? I have a new Dell/Vista. Nothing but Office 2007 on it. Crashes when I try to open Outlook. Sigh.

Have a client with a win 2003 server. It's needs OS re-installing. They've lost disks. Apparently MS don't offer OEM 2003 support anymore. the product key with the COA (obviously) doesn't work with the evaluation versions I was told by Dell to download from MS site. a third call to Dell support, and they 'find' some disks in stock after all. It was a whole day wasted though chasing around in circles.

I think its just outlook... never could get that be very stable on any machine, not since they loaded it up with so many things.
- Matt Ellsworth
Outlook usually runs fine, but you're right in that it can be a bit finnicky if the main data file - PST file - is corrupt. Outloook can be run in safe mode without any addons if one of them is causing a problem. In my experience, a corrupt PST is the main cause of grief with Office Outlook, but is no more unstable than any other programme out there.

Open Office may not be as feature-full as MS Office 07.. but then again, most people don't use more than 5-10% of all that Office 07 can do.
- Ade
But then again, some people really need all those features. I do. Open is not an option for many people in a office environment. Besides, the issue was with Office Outlook 2007, as I recall. Not with Open Office. Who cares about Open Office - that wasn't what the thread was about.

does a new commercially bought PC with Windows and Software installed crash more than a commercially bought PC with linux or mac OSX? I'm not sure, perhaps it would be because typically there's way more installed and customized that can go wrong on first run. On the other hand my commercially bought HP with Linux could not be registered online or updated ("sorry, your serial number is...

- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
I would agree with you on the price aspect, however, it is not really geared to individual users and is more of a business broduct and is included in the higher-end Office packages. It *can* be a bit so, but this is usually due to overly large PST files. On my machine with a 1GB PST file, it's still quite snappy, but on lower end machines, this can indeed be a problem.. I don't know about the boated eye-candy statement, though. I would disagree with you on that one.
- Kittyburgers

ok Kittyburgers. I used to use Outlook, but these days I simply don't need it. I prefer Gmail, and there's no darn sync nonsense. That is the main reason I moved away from local email.
- Ian May
Higher-end Office packages?! It's included in Office Basic. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us...
- Ade
It depends which market these licenses are sold. Office Basic 2007 is for system builders only with Offce Small Business and Professional 2007 trial. It is not sold retail. You must order it with a new PC. It is aimed at the small business user, not a home user. This is where the Home & Student version comes in. Office Outlook 2007's target users are in a business environment. This is what I meant when I stated higher-end packages.

my curent annoyance with MS is the helpful search technology they have added and kind of forced on me - by default it indexes too much, uses too many resources, and gets in the way... and i cant remove it...
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Indexing shouldn't be taking up too many resources. Check the settings - you can adjust everything to suit your needs. Just type "index" into the start menu and you should see indexing options (on Windows 7, and I believe Vista as well) If you deal with many documents and emails, I would say that it's one of the best new features. Certainly for me, along with jump lists.

I can't remember the last time I used a paper phone book. Here in my Atlanta suburb, the yellow pages are TWO VOLUMES and the white pages are usually only one, though it is huge. We also get a local yellow pages and a local white pages. That's so much wasted paper.
- Joey Gibson
Was just kvetching the same thing this week as i came home from the office, hauled a big yellow plastic wrapped book from off my lawn, thru my front door, walked all the way thru my house ("Honey take those shoes off!...") and directly out the back door and slamdunked it into the rcycled bin. Not terrible efficient of us all. I think i hurt myself.
- Thom Kennon
What's really interesting is that we still hear radio spots about how great "the *REAL* Yellow Pages" are and how your business should not use an "imposter" YP. It's obviously still making real money for the phone companies, or they would have killed them off already. I guess a few million dead trees is just fine by them.
- Joey Gibson
I actually use my phone book because it's often faster than using the web for certain things, especially as many of the things you sometimes look up (tow truck, septic tank pump out, etc) generally don't have websites and listings on Google are hit or miss.
- Andrew Leyden
There's more in that world that's wrong- they hire independent contractors to deliver, and only pay them according to how many they deliver, but they don't pay gas or any other kind of costs, so you end up getting day laborers who throw large bags of the phone books directly into dumpsters to collect a day's wages.

not only are they handling less mail, the mail they are handling is now predominantly junk mail and pkgs instead of first class envelopes. more volume, more weight, less revenue per piece. a recipe for disaster.
- MikeAmundsen
How much of the mail you get do you want? My mailbox fills up with stuff I just recycle. The postal service has been subsidized by junk mail, and if that goes, there's a lot less mail to deliver and a lot less $ to pay for it.
- Adina Levin
@Adina: junk mail is the bane of the USPS, not it's saviour.
- MikeAmundsen
Heh. I'm not saying it's *good*. I'm just saying that it's been key to their business model, and if there's less of it, there's less funding to deliver other mail. To be honest, how much paper mail do you send these days? I'll bet I don't use 6 envelopes in a year.
- Adina Levin
@Adina: USPS has been losing $ ever since introducing discounts for "junk" mail. they've attempted to make up for the diff w/ rate hikes, but it will never work. yes, it's a terrible biz model. i send very little first class, but i send a measurable number of "overnight" mail via other carriers. this, by the way, used to be the domain of USPS until they ceded that market to private biz to focus on junk mail. bummer.
- MikeAmundsen
USPS actually does a good job shipping packages. It's not core competency, but could expand. Also, the automated kiosks in may post offices make hours of operation and staffing requirements less relevant to completing postal mail tasks

One big problem I have is unclear, inconsistent and overloaded terminology -- words like "branch", "change", "commit", "index", "add", "checkout" and "label" all mean different things in different places. Even the official documentation tends to mix and match words. This is OK if you know how everything works, but when I'm trying to get your head around the dozens of places and ways git keeps state, it just leaves me confused and unhappy.

Agreed, but to be fair, Linus said at one point that he hadn't originally intended it to be used directly, but rather for other tools to be built on top of it. As is often the case among *nix geeks, people just started using the low-level tool because I guess no one felt like building a user-friendly version.
- Joel Webber
Linus was kidding himself, I don't think it's possible to make a user-friendly wrapper. That would be like making a user friendly tool on top of Unix shell utilities -- people have tried it, but it just doesn't make sense. The underlying commands are just too generic and powerful. So what we end up with is a bunch of "leaky abstractions" -- helper layers and "porcelain" commands that try to simplify your life but just add more complexity in the end.
