Good business tool but for students or private individual, not better

I've been here for almost one year owner of the student version of Outlook 2010, and I must say in all honesty, this was really a bad buy. No question, Outlook is probably the best, and if not, at least the most common program for writing business emails and organize tasks and appointments. While it is so that the surface looks very confusing for newcomers in the first moment, one has but to eingefuchst and they adapted a little one has really all look what's coming.

The problem is that Outlook up to version 2010 is actually only the graphical user interface of the Exchange server and without a connection to this is Outlook at most a single-user solution. Although Microsoft promises with the Outlook Connector, a connection with the Internet Used Hotmail (or now also outlook.com), but here I must say that this is only a minimalist solution. The connector requests to only the synchronization services that are covered by Live-mail anyway. These are mails, appointments and contacts. For tasks and notes asking for Microsoft Outlook 2010, unfortunately to no synchronization service. I think that notes are not so important, but that Microsoft has also spared the Tasks folder, is incomprehensible to me.

The really bad thing about the whole thing is that is always told in all the forums from Microsoft that the synchronization of tasks would be technically complex. But you researched a bite you will find a version of the Outlook Connector for Outlook 2007, which allegedly solves the above problem, Allerding only in connection with the Hotmail subscription, which was a charge (is ?, it is probably not soon). It is well-ehr a marketing strategy to sell Office 2013 better than a technical challenge.

And who thinks, "well then I can not synchronize tasks, but mail, appointments and contacts", the must be said that the connector does not support the division into categories, which in my view is a major shortcoming. After all, Outlook is not for nothing that expensive and offers so many opportunities.

My conclusion is that 70 for Outlook (student version, otherwise it's twice as expensive) one can save confidently. It's probably better if you organize a student, student or owner his appointments over Internet platforms such as Hotmail or Google. Here my knowledge are also offered better connectivity to smartphones. The only thing that brought me the purchase is that I could incorporate into the surface, since the latest when it comes to business and professional practice, to get hardly passing Outlook. Regardless of the version.
