Step 1: Use Outlook 2003
Step 2: Then come talk
Most of the features are still the same, but how much can you change? It's frickin' email, and a personal organizer. There are only so many features that make sense. Oh, and when they made Exchange 2003, they made OWA almost as functional as the full Outlook client. I'm not the Exchange guru on our staff (I'm the SQL guy by default, the only open source advocate, and not-coincidentally the security guy), so I don't know how good Exchange 2003 otherwise - but that's an entirely different thread.
The GUI for Outlook is by far one of the best things MS has made. I consider that a feature in of itself, previous versions of Outlook had a horrible GUI if you actually wanted to do anything.
Actually, this isn't an entirely bad way to fund a fraction of the mission. Have like, some kind of a "who wants to be the first on Mars" TV show were the best and brightest compete to have one (1) seat on the mission to Mars.
Make the network that gets this show pay oodles of cash.

Yep. Just a patch for Office XP. I was *so* disappointed how Office Outlook 2003 looked EXACTLY like the previous version of Outlook!

I'm not even going to try and explain to you that your little auto/body shop is a service industry.
