We had a few users try it out before we had a chance to block it using Group Policy. It was an abysmal experience for those who opted-in, and I can't imagine it ever replacing the native client without massive backlash in its current state. It clearly caters to a subset of basic users who only send/receive individually. Shared calendars, shared mailboxes, rule management, plugins, etc. were all absent and are features that a majority of our users rely on day to day. There's clearly a huge gap between the folks working on this new version and the native app's userbase — and sadly, as we've all observed, that's becoming the norm with a lot of releases coming out of Redmond lately.
