Microsoft Outlook 2010 disappointment

I purchased the full version of Microsoft Outlook 2010 separately for someone who wanted to upgrade her existing computer and Outlook email. It doesn't have the spelling, grammar and smilies that the previous version has, which was a great disappointment. Even though the Microsoft Office 2010 Starter with Word and Excel was already installed and has those features. This is very poor from Microsoft as she paid for a complete Outlook retail version and some essential features are missing.

You can verify this for yourself by installing the Microsoft Office 2010 trial and just select Outlook and other support tools. No spelling, grammar and smilies when you create an email. If you install the complete set of products then normal operation is available.

Another Microsoft gotcha!
