DJ Schwend, a product designer working on the OWA team in Exchange has put together this overview of the best new features in our Beta 1 release.
"We've made huge strides to improve the online experience and our goal is to keep being the best web mail client in the world."
The user interface has been redesigned with a focus on productivity. We've reduced the number of clicks required to get tasks done. When possible, we've incorporated actions and responses in place; we call this "inline task completion" instead of opening multiple dialogs or property sheets. We've removed pop-up notifications to avoid those irritating pop-up blockers. We've enhanced drag and drop functionality, improved and expanded the right-click context menus, and integrated better error strings contextually so they don't get in your way.
