Well this sounds just like Notes to me (MS new product)
Tags :Announcement
An announcement that just hit the wires. Microsoft
has expanded their Hotmail offering (and MSN Plus) with a downloadable
Outlook client with some interesting things.
Microsoft (Quote,
Chart) went live with a new subscription version of its enterprise-grade
Outlook offering that also connects with its premium Web mail services
MSN Premium or Hotmail Plus.
The downloadable software lets users
manage all MSN e-mail accounts, contacts and calendars from a single interface.
They can send e-mails from multiple accounts, search for messages across
accounts and manage different calendars and sets of contacts.
So with this you get 2GB of storage and
20MB size attachments. Here is the real reason I am posting this,
sounds like (taken from an IM conversation I just had) "wow, they've
figured out replication"
Changes made on the
client machine are automatically synched with online Hotmail accounts;
if the changes are made while offline, the accounts are updated the next
time the user goes online.
So let me get this right, you get 250MB
free with Hotmail but if you demand this full Outlook feel you can subscribe
and download this version. You do not require Office to run it and
they will offer updates and patches. But it has some crude form of
replication built in.
