Hi Tony, I downloaded the program the other night and installed
it. Microsoft will tell you that it takes 2 hours at 28.8. Well I was
connected at 33.6 and it took 3 hours to download due to net traffic
that meant the transfer wasn't really happening at anything like 28.8.
The program itself has many new features over Outlook 97 and it
inegrates to the point of eliminating Outlook Express. I like the fact
that it integrates messaging in one spot. Outlook 98 can do internet
mail, workgroup mail, faxing, and news all in one spot. The PIM features
have been beefed up so the it comes close to a real PIM like Sidekick or
the like. The mail options also allow for HTML mail, backgrounds, etc.
and integrates with Word97 so that you can use Word as your mail editor
or mail directly from Word with all the document features preserved.
I thought it was well worth the download time.
One bummer, it requires a local installation of Office97. No
networked or run from CD version will work. I think this is because of
the integration with Office. Microsoft treats it as an extension of
Office not as a standalone product.
good luck!

Date: Wednesday, March 25, 1998 5:02PM
Hello Listmembers:
Has anyone acquired Outlook 98?
I was pondering whether I should download or purchase the CD. I am
currently running W98b3, K6-233Mhz,64Mb Ram IE4.01.072, MS Ofc 97
Pro,Outlook Express and Outlook 97 is residing on my system.
If anyone has dwnlded or purchased the CD, What is there consensus about
the
program? Is it worth the dwnld. or the $10.00.?
As always appreciate the input of all the members.
Sincerely,
Tomez De Silva "TONY"
