introduction of contact cards made access to information more difficult


most of my tasks are linked to contacts.


in previous versions of Outlook a double click on contact name used to evoked a card (from contacts folder)


in new version it evokes a "contact card" rather then regular contact


I personally don't see any advantages of a "contact card" over a regular contact


you cannot start a phone call from a contact card unless your are subscribed to MS IM (no side software vendors support this feature)


the information reflected in a "contact card" is limited compared to a regular contact


if someone likes it - it's OK though. just give users a choice.


for example a single click could evoke a contact card whereas a double-click a regular contact


that would suffice to resolve the problem


alternatively make an option prescribing application's behaviour with linked contacts
