Maybe Exchange 2010 shouldn't be tarred with the Outlook brush, but...apparently menus and shortcuts are now so passe that every possible function anyone could do, even those you don't do very often, is now laid out in the pane at the top of Outlook's window. Sure, you can turn it all off, or spend a couple of hours customizing it, but how about a more sensible set of defaults that doesn't overwhelm us with choice anxiety the first time we launch?
