# Aye, Ultimate Edition
Tis quite nice as long as you have plenty of RAM and a 3D card...

# They've got it at work
I find it a bugger to navigate :( It isn't as clear as Windows XP imho

# I found the switch quite easy
I like the way user files are laid out now, it makes more sense.

We've got it installed at work now too, we've had more trouble with the new Outlook than Windows itself.

# I only go
to work one day a week (internship :)....) so I've pretty much had to explain how computers work to my own boss :P

Outlook is crap anyway though, surely?

# Aah, I see!
Outlook is great if you only want to use your computer for E-Mail and Calendar. Ever.

If you try and open anything else alongside to Outlook 2007 the machine gets incredibly slow every time a new e-mail arrives or any other Outlook task starts.

I feel that problem will go away as M$ release updates though.

# i noticed that on my PC too.
Setting Outlook to only run off one core helps (but not by much), if of course you have a dual core processor.

# At work I do,
but the machine does that much day to day it'll make little difference. I use a lot of programming and data analysis tools. It's not uncommon for the machine to be at 90-100% overall CPU usage.

At home, I have an old AMD Sempron machine (which barely counts as one core). But I don't use Outlook at home.
