While overall I'm fairly pleased with the updated Word, Excel, and PowerPoint applications, I am extremely disappointed in the Outlook application. My hope was that Microsoft would finally come to realize that Exchange is not the only means by which users access eMail, Calendaring, and Contacts. When there are so many free programs (Thunderbird, Lightning) that work wonderfully with Gmail and some truly great paid apps (Postbox), I just don't understand the logic behind not implementing cloud-based synchronization with services such as Yahoo, Gmail, and even Microsoft's own product Windows Live. The decision to exclude these from the initial launch and offer *only* contact synchronization via OS X's Sync Services is a severe disappointment for anyone hoping to take advantage of the features Outlook offers without having to shell how hundreds of dollars a year for a hosted Exchange solution.

Until Microsoft finally realizes that they've lost the battle for cloud-based PIM services, and that a vast majority of their Mac customers utilize Office on their home systems, they will continue to fall short of their target sales and Office for Mac will continue to languish as the red-headed step-child of a product that it is.

Wonderful app. I discovered this one when I was looking for a good replacement when I converted from Windoze to Mac. :)

One suggestion...would it be possible to create/enable a setting to set Smultron as the default Text Editor? I like to keep things fairly simple and when I double-click on a *.txt document and it opens in the default Text Editor, it annoys me. Sure, I can right-click and tell it to open with Smultron, but if there was a system-wide default setting that could be configured, that would be ideal.

While the peer-to-peer backup functions and the online backup are both exciting features, Code 42 unfortunately left out the more often used backup strategy of external hard drives or network attached storage.

I do like the option of backing up my important files to another computer or to an online repository; however, I prefer the simplicity of being able to backup to an external USB or Firewire drive.

Based on reviews I've seen for CrashPlan, Code 42 is planning on adding in the functionality to backup to external drives, but if that's your only solution for the moment, I would suggest looking elsewhere until this feature is added.

Program does exactly what it says it does. Great little app for clearing house before starting up a game like WoW or any of the other processor-intensive apps.

Definite Thumbs-up!

I can't seem to get it working under Leopard either. I've tried both the PlugSuit and the SIMBL method and neither work.
