The new features I'm using HEAVILY in my company are:
- Open a full thread in a tab (using the Gmail Conversation View
addon)
- Global search
- Full-fledged calendar management with new Lighting addon (requires
TB3)
- Mails in tabs
- Less resource consumption
These alone were sufficient drivers for migration.
My 5cts!
I'm sorry but I haven't noted figures, but from my experience at work
and at home (4 years old Celeron on XP), I've noted that less memory
is consumed than in TB2, and the overall response time is better. With
one exception : the folder panel is redrawn with some latency with the
Celeron, and the time to display a message is a little bit longer than
in TB2, but still acceptable (I have seen some posts complaining about
unbearable response times with TB3, but that is not my own
experience).
Of course, you should wait for and test the next version to be
released very soon (before the end of the month), TB3.01, correcting a
lot of youth issues, and hopefully all migration issues met so far
(they were some...)
Last, to be honest, I'm not using TB3 at work as the official
corporate tool (it is Outlook 2003), so I have no experience about
rolling out TB3 to a large number of users.
Hope this helps anyway.
