There are three versions of the online app which are truly compatible. First, is the normal computer use in which there's not much to say. Second, is the tablet use in which the app is divided into two to three parts depending on the tablet device you're using. It may be the same for the older computers whose screens are 4:3 but I guess that Outlook Web App has like more features than the standard Mail app on Windows 8. Lastly is the phone use and the whole GUI design is like the style of Windows Phone. But then, on other devices, the whole opportunity is like a joke.
In addition, there may be Outlook Apps such as the LinkedIn App for Outlook that can be activated in Outlook Web App. Other features include the Forgotten Attachment Detector, improved Draft indicators and the inaccurate drag-and-drop of files from the desktop in which you're better off going to the Metro version of File Attachment screen if you're using the tablet device.
Well, it's Outlook or perhaps Hotmail, right, and you get to see certain features formed in to one whole app? The new view in the calendar is MOGENDA which is the combination of Monthly and Agenda view. You can also peek at the schedules in the calendar to know the premises or perhaps the importance of what's happening. There will be factors, telling you what you're supposed to do when you try to follow the schedules so make sure you're prepared.
Now for Browser and Operating System Support, you get two flavors.
- OWA Premium: It requires IE8 and above as well as newer versions of Safari, Chrome and Firefox on the computers. For tablets, the requirements are Windows 8 Tablets, IOS 6 on Ipad 2 and Iphone 4 or later in the initial release in which IOS 6 is still under development. You can still use the preview edition of this on IOS 5 but on Ipod Touch 4th Gen with IOS 5, what a joke when I just accessed Outlook Web App, lol.
- OWA Light: This is the basic version that IE7 for example, can support in case you do not have the latest version of the web browser on your computer.
