Very cool... now, running Office 2013 side-by-side w/ Office 2010. Makes comparison easy. Outlook (2013) opened fully configured; accounts in w/ all their folders, Contacts & Calendar entries all intact, as per the same as what is/was, already, in Outlook 2010... I did not have to lift a finger. Even, the Quickie Toolbar identical to Outlook 2010.

Layout & display is very clear, bright & vibrant. Already see some cool ways to accomplish & manipulate things, in the various components, Word, et al, of Office 2013.

Cheers,
Drew

Only been since last night w/ it. I'll spend more time w/ it. @ the onset, seems alright. I didn't give it a 'background'... now, I find it needs colour or something... The appearance is a bit too 'plain' or blah. When I have time will look for how I can, maybe, change that. There's some Features & abilities it has though, that are bloody terrific! (like anywhere access, for 1)

Cheers,
Drew
