I just started a new job where I have to use Outlook. I've been using it 
on a Windows 7 box running JFW 14, and I can't say it's buggy. I'm not 
sure what you mean by working like most email clients. I can read the 
body of the message just by hitting the enter key or the F6 key if the 
preview pane is still there. I've only been using it for eight days so 
far though. I did take it for a spin a few years ago, after I left Lotus 
Notes and before I switched to Thunderbird exclusively, and it does take 
some getting used to. there are some things about it I like, but I have 
to get the hot keys down and get used to using the ribbon. Of course, 
the big advantage is that I can do my job with it! BTW, this is Outlook 
2010.
