Found this on the Task and Time Management in Outlook blog on MSDN [that is Microsoft for you Appleheads]: Melissa MacBeth, Features Designer for Microsoft Outlook wrote:
We then did research to figure out how to modify Outlook in order to help people to be more effective at managing their time. We looked at many different time management systems, including Getting Things Done by David Allen, Take Back Your Life! By Sally McGhee and her Microsoft training course, Managing Actions, The Organized Executive by Stephanie Winston, the Franklin Covey/Quest model, Time Management from the Inside Out by Julie Morgenstern, among others. There is a lot of good stuff coming in Outlook 2007. I just installed it last night, and I may be moving back to it for my GTD system. You can download the Outlook 2007 beta at Microsoft's site.

I had a few reservations about Open Office, which I've tried off and on over the years. When attemping to uninstall Office 07 crippled my installations of 03 and XP, I had to install OO. I'm at student at the University of Phoenix, and at crunch time I ended up having to use Open Office to complete my final projects for my class. In some ways, I found it easier. It didn't have the integration that I'm used to with MS Office, but the help file is actually useful, and the lack of feature bloat made what I needed easier to find. I can't say I've EVER hit F1 in any Microsoft product and found anything actually helpful. The web search integration they built into Office XP just meant it could return even more abstract and off topic results to a search in help. I've come to the conclusion that there is only one product Microsoft could make that doesn't actually suck. It's a vacuum cleaner. » POSTED IN:
