Outlook forces you to tie your hands behind your back

Yup...that's my story.  I know, I know...I've written a book on it...and a bunch of witty articles...but really - it still "%#$#sses" me off.

It always seems like every Outlook/Collaborative project I've ever been involved with tries to do things with Outlook that just can't be done...but its not all that obvious when you start out...You start out thinking - "sure, I'm pretty sure we can do that" - then, whammo...some little quirky bug/feature hits you hard below the belt.  Then you need to do Harry Potter magic to find work arounds. 

Outlook/Exchange - amazing tools...but, they still need to mature a bit when it comes to writing rock solid integrated collaborative apps. 

Oh do I have stories...

but...the really funny thing is that I feel this urge to write another book on Outlook 11/Exchange 2003.   Anyone want to help? <grin>  For the first time since the first book have I been inspired enough to do it all again...Outlook 11/Exchange 2003 rock my world - for now.

grumble, grumble
