At my work everything is running on Microsoft. We are also using Exchange as an email server. At work, I could use Outlook and connect it to Exchange, if somebody would be able to fix my computer. But since I don't expect this to happen very soon, I got used to using the web interface. It is possible to use it in case you use the Internet Exploder as a webbrowser. Using any other browser is somehow a not so good idea. I use linux for my private computers, and thus have no IE. The webinterface does not even provide something like a search function. Or I did not find it. But since it is not that crowed the interface, I think I looked at every button. In case somebody knows how to search in the web interface, just leave my a comment.

After installing stuff for some time, I finally put my new thinkpad w500 into use. Still running vista buisness 64bit, but its ok. The hardware is pretty decent for the price of 1.5k€ (core2duo 2,26Ghz, 15.3" display at 1920x1200, a switchable graphics system(ati and onboard intel), 4gb ram, 160gb disc, an intel 5300 abgn wireless network card, ericson umts mobile card and a 9 cell battery).

The umts card also contains a gps system, but somehow I did not get it to work yet. But I hope I will. Currentyl I'm somewhere between Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Berlin Südkreuz on a IC to Stralsund. In comparison to the umts card that I got with my t-mobile contract, this card really works quite well. The real test will come later between Berlin and Stralsund. You partically get no connect with my old card. Lets see how well this one work.
