[THIN] Re: Published Outlook 2007 is ugly

I have been running Office 07 on my Vista business PC at work too.  I think both Office 2007 and Vista are giant steps backward for Microsoft.  I hate the Office 2007 interface.  It looks pretty, but functionally it drives me nuts.

More and more I find myself turning to Google Apps for running my appointments, contacts, and data where I can get away with it.

If they would make a Google Apps appliance that I could plug in to my network and hook to my SAN for storage, I think I would be set.  My only big hangup with Google Apps is trusting my businesses data to Google.

I don't know I am still very inclined to stick with Outlook 2003.  I have been using Outlook 2007 locally on my Vista Business PC since it's release and testing and every time I get an update from MS (once a month) it somehow breaks Outlook 2007 and I have to run the repair utility from the CD.  Very frustrating.

I was kind of hoping good would overcome since I upgraded to 2007 this weekend and the display is ugly here as well.  ;)  Any suggestions would be welcome.

yep. Unfortunately it's now a dead issue as I've rolled back to 2003 (which works fine).

WI 4.6 and the latest AMC, repulish app and you'll get better colours on the icon through PNagent and WI / CSG.

Publishing office 2007 on w2k3 r2 w/sp2, citrix name-of-the-day 4.5, and Outlook is just ugly. As in 16-color ugly. All of the other apps, including office, look fine, and pictures embedded within an e-mail message display fine in Outlook, it's just Outlook itself is hideous.

Ideas?
