So far, so good…. haven’t noticed performance issues, and the synchronization of read/unread status actually seems to work. (Though I haven’t tested it when I delete/mark read throguh my OWA interface yet).

Thanks guys… kick ass as usual

Fantastic! The only reason I wasn’t using NetNews and FeedDemon was because I had an “okay” solution that was free. I’d much rather have an online-offline multi-platform solution like the one you offer. In fact, I already switched.

I expect you’ll see a huge increase in adoption and that should generate a variety of interesting opportunities for Newsgator as a whole…

Excellent!

Interesting news Jeff, guess that must mean the enterprise market isn’t a bad play . Opening up something for free to everyone to get relevance data back is something we’ve played with as well – you guys certainly must be getting some great data.

I had that issue with Outlook a long time ago, but chalked it up to plugins in Outlook sucking. You are probably pushing a lot of feeds through it as well.

Keep us informed on what is going on, Nick and the other developers will certainly give you priority attention on this.

It should be much better – but I’ll leave that up to you to decide.

Feel free to drop your comments in the NewsGator Forums (http://forum.newsgator.com/Forum1-1.aspx) if things still seem slow.

Is the Inbox beta any better in terms of performance? Inbox 2.x really bogged down Outlook 2007 for me a lot even with the resource usage turned all the way down (not sure if this just limits network usage). I didn’t realize it was Inbox causing the issue until I launched and it was disabled because of crashing…. and then Outlook was quite fast.
