[dba-Tech] Outlook pegs cpu utilization

Actually it's exhilarating...  you've stated in the past that you don't 
specifically like being a jack of all trades.  I personally hate outlook 
and use it here at work for 2 purposes, receiving scheduled meetings 
reminders from people and some email importing for a distributed app I 
have, otherwise I pre-screen my favorite email client.

most people use Outlook because the company uses outlook and many 
companies use Outlook because it's pre-bundled in Office and it relieves 
the overhead of having to go out and *purchase* an email client site 
license.  I don't believe it's a matter of choice, but rather 
convenience.  I don't like Outlook for several reasons, but overhead on 
the pc and viruses are my primary reasons.
