The first bug?”Multiple instances of Microsoft Outlook” Windows 7

On By windows7bugsIn Windows 7Leave a comment

Have Windows7  and MS office suit installed? Are you using Microsoft Outlook 2007 standard/professional edition? Okay, let us start a fresh session of Microsoft Outlook. Leave it alone and double click open Microsoft Outlook again and again and again…how many Microsoft Outlook sessions are available for you? a dozen?

Microsoft Outlook Multiple Instances

This “bug” was reported to me by my colleague Sherin and I had given the same a try and end up with multiple instances of MS outlook running from my station. Would MS gonna claim this as an enhancement? Let us wait and see!

Last minute thought: Once started using multiple instances of Outlook, I should say, I felt pretty better as I could move around multiple nodes of my mail box (inbox, sent items) without closing the other one…so instead of calling it as bug, I should mark it as an enhancement :P

Are you using Windows 7 RC 7100 evaluation? be informed, this evaluation would expire within a short time. I received a notification around 12 hours back that my copy would expire within 7 days and CLEARLY asked me to take a backup of the stuff I have with this instance!

So be ready, if you were ‘enjoying’ the free copy of Windows7 evaluation, RC 7100 you should hurry up to make backups and plan for a clean installation. There are numerous work arounds posted over internet about an upgrade from RC to a full version of Microsoft Windows 7 ultimate edition (ie, you cannot upgrade your copy of free ultimate evaluation copy to Windows 7 professional, enterprise or home premium editions)

If you are curious to know how it works, please follow this link
