For the developers however it’s a challenge since it requires major changes. Easy2Sync for Outlook has now mastered these challenges and is available both for Outlook 2010 32-bit and 64-bit. It does that completely automatic, so you don’t have to worry about downloading the right version.

More info about it on the Outlook sync page.

The installation was done without problem. During the start two things quickly became obvious:

1. The new Outlook starts FAST. Faster than the older version.
2. The ribbon bar is now also in the main dialog.

While the first item obviously is a good one, I (personally) rate the second one as negative. since I’m not a friend of ribbon bars. They’re easy to use for some things like BOLD or ITALICS, but difficult for the complex administration tasks of the Outlook main dialog.

A further test shows that in 32-Bit mode the Outlook sync software Easy2Sync for Outlook (in the new version 3.05) is already compatible. The 64-Bit mode still creates problems, which will also be a trouble for end-users. Since they (usually) don’t know whether they installed 32 or 64 bit, they don’t know which version of the add-on to download…
