Many features versus a few?
Sometimes, you have to think what’s more important: speed or features.
This time, I’m not talking about Firefox and IE, but rather about Outlook and Thunderbird.
I’ve been using Outlook for a time now, but I’m thinking seriously of going back to Thunderbird. In fact, it’s going to be the first thing I’ll do when I get at home.
Nowadays, most decent antivirus software and antispam software works together with Thunderbird, and since all of my emails are powered by GMail, there is really no reason to keep using Outlook.
First of all, it takes a long while to start up. Seriously, I got a very powerful PC, but when that shitty piece of software is booted up, I ‘ve drunk a whole cup of tea!
And secondly, after I installed Thunderbird 3.0.4 at my stage, my eyes opened. Why am I still using that piece of shitty software? The only thing nice on it is the skin.. and even that’s boring me!
But Outlook is so slow, because it has so many features. Which most people won’t ever use.
I mean, is that a good idea? To have many features that are rarely used?
That’s what I like on Firefox… no built in Torrent-client (sorry Opera, but that’s something for my µTorrent!)… Why do you need that? Same for my emails.
So next thing I’ll do is switch over to Thunderbird. I like the Office 2007 Black skin!
