MS Outlook 2013 refuses to connect to MS Exchange 2003 server. You would say - Microsoft is within its rights - it is difficult to keep backwards compatibility for so long time and I accept it. But just give me a chance to continue buying MS Outlook 2010, that works happily with MS Exchange Server 2003.
Unfortunately I cannot buy MS Outlook 2010 anymore from Microsoft (at least online)! If I am wrong - please give me a link!
See what are the prices of MS Outlook 2010 licenses at Amazon Market space:
And it is not only MS Outlook. Nowadays MS Office 2010 licenses are 2.5 times more expensive than MS Office 2013:
Fact:
Some sellers are making huge profits by putting old (unused) MS Office 2010 licenses on the market.
The worst thing is that despite the high price, you never know whether you would be able to activate the product - some sellers just disappear from Amazon marked space after making several sales. Amazon is kind enough to take responsibility and offer a refund, but I need the MS Office 2010 licenses, not the money!
MS Office 2010 can be downloaded still, if there is a valid product key. Funny enough, the link is not published - Google is on help. It is through http://office.microsoft.com/ and it looks like MS Store - the price is 0.00 and it offers to add a media (DVD) for small additional amount. Why such links are not made to sell new licenses for MS Office 2010 or MS Outlook 2010?
