On Windows 7, if I check and uncheck turn on clear type, I see an immediate difference in how Outlook display the fonts. When I go to Visual Studio 2010, I don’t see a difference. This makes me think that Visual Studio 2010 is doing something differently from Outlook 2010 with regard to clear type.

Just to make sure that it is not the font that is causing this, I used Segoe UI in Visual Studio 2010.

I recently moved to Office 2010 at work. I like it mostly. This is on Windows 7 Enterprise x64. Here are some of my observations.

Outlook 2010 crashes a lot more often than Outlook 2007. Recovery from the crashes so far has been seamless. So, I am not worried much about it.

I just noticed a problem in Outlook 2010 calendar regarding meeting cancellations. When I receive a cancellation notice and click on the remove from calendar, it didn’t remove it from my calendar. It still showed up as a reminder to a canceled meeting. I was annoyed and searched about the problem. There seems to be a way to automatically accept meeting request and cancellations. I definitely would not want to automatically accept a meeting request but automatically remove a cancellation. That is not an option that I would enable.

Anyways, I went to the deleted folder and found the cancellation notice in there. Clicked again on the remove from calendar and the message disappeared from the deleted folder and the meeting disappeared from the calendar. I think the reason it still showed up on the calendar was because the message was still in a folder. Only when it gets permanently deleted, the item gets removed from the calendar. May be a side effect of the new features.

Whatever that means. The uninstaller completed its job though.

I didn’t understand the benefit of the desktop application. Usually when you have a desktop application, you get richer experience. In this case all I got got or at the least perceived was a reduced functionality. Now I am back to the Pandora web application.

I got this when starting the installer. I ignored it and went ahead without any problems.
