I am okay with 2010 Outlook. I am one of those people who never discards an email, so that is great for me due to the better handling of large PST files in the newer version.

It is Excel I have the major issue with. Even the guts...now, you cannot calculate a median value in a pivot table! Why the H E double hockey sticks did they have to change something like THAT?

IMHO, Excel went down the tubes when they got past 2003. I didn’t like the GUI, (keep it simple, I’m working here!), and I have always hated the way something that worked in the last version doesn’t quite in the next. I refused to buy a newer version to open the “x” (docx, xlsx) files, and just downloaded Open Office.

I am wondering if you mean something different by 'calculate a median value' because in a Pivot, using (right-click) > Value Field Settings gives you the options to sum, average, std dev and others. (This would be a complete threadjack if we all suddenly go off on an Excel session - LOL)

Wait, scratch that. Median Value. Gotcha.
