New features and improvements of Microsoft Outlook 2013
Improved user interface and new flattened look. The Outlook of 2013 has inherited much of its design from Windows 8. The application design has become completely monochromatic with white, black and gray colors prevailing in the design with some occasional blue points appearing here and there. Such a color scheme may make it difficult for a user to indicate and distinguish certain elements, messages, buttons and navigational instruments of the application.
The Microsoft Outlook 2013 version has reduced the quantity of icons to point to options or tools, instead using too much of text to identify certain tools and navigation. This makes it really difficult to comprehend the information on the first glance as users are used to identify icons and pictorial design.
Calendar is always available now in the Outlook. You just need to hover the mouse pointer over the Calendar tab and it will show you necessary information. You will be able to manage the data, shift between tasks, notification, calendar days, weeks or months.
Microsoft Outlook 2013 is a perfect solution for those who just start working with this application but it will be a great disappointment for those who have got used to work in 2010 version of the application as it is clearer and simpler despite all the innovations and improvements realized in 2013 version.
My first purchase in this shop proved to be quite successful and favorable in all respects. I ordered Photoshop here. They even had an indefinite license I’ve been looking for so long. I made a payment on the site. My purchase was delivered the next day. They did everything they promised to do. I am grateful to the shop staff and especially to the manager for the good consultation and the compliance with our agreements.
I decided to buy licensed Adobe Muse CC 2015. I called to the shop to get an advice, what is better to buy. I was satisfied with the consultation, it was very informative! I have no objections to the work of the program and to the shop. The staff works fast. I made a payment, got the key and installed the program – everything worked) The price was really pleasant!
They spent a lot of time talking to me on the phone and offered several options of delivery of the license programs. As a result, I got exactly what I needed- no more, no less. I remained very satisfied, as I didn’t have to overpay for the unnecessary functions.
We permanently cooperate with this shop. It is pleasant that the management gives significant discounts to the regular customers. The manager answers all of your questions and carefully explains everything you don’t understand. Last time we offered a few copies of MS Office and Adobe Photoshop. In general, we are satisfied.
Good prices and conditions for the purchase of software, fast delivery, friendly and correct staff. I have made the purchase here twice, and I am satisfied twice. Thank you for the quick response to all questions and suggestions.
