Microsoft Outlook

What works

Nothing save the initial opening of the appliation.

What does not

The fields to populate logon and server information are not visible nor (to my random clicking around the window) accessible.  Once you finish the initial config, you cannot re-open the client, it crashes with a 'Failed to open Outlook window'  If you try and run without configuring an account, you get the same error.

Workarounds

What was not tested

Pretty much everything save the initial configuration interface, which was borked.

Additional Comments

Because my employer insists on using Sharepoint as a primary document and scheduling tool, I am forced to run Outlook. Luckily a small few of us are making inroads in bringing in Macintosh systems to users and there is no talk about moving to Office 2010, so I'm hoping that this absolutism of interaction will ease a bit in the future, but in the meantime I'm really hampered if I don't have Outlook. By the way, if are not using Outlook with Sharepoint, Evolution works well as a replacement. The only thing preventing full integration between Evolution and Sharepoint is the Internet Explorer bridge enabling access to contact lists. God I can't wait to dump Microsoft to the curb. Someday, someday soon. I have people coming to me all of the time, asking me how they can get their system set up like mine and how do I manage to get things done so quickly. We've got at least 7 people asking for Macs, four currently deployed and I have 4 people asking for a test Linux laptop and one deployed (mine), unless you include servers in which case we have 4 deployed.
