Default Microsoft Add-Ins For Reading Newsgroups In Outlook?

I'm not understanding how Microsoft wants users to employ WLM versus
Outlook.

There seems to be a lot of overlap between the two products -- both have
synched calendars, for example.

What are the intended user profiles for each product?

Frankly, I think Microsoft Marketing has dropped the ball here in not
informing customers about these differences, capabilities, limitations and
comparative advantages and disadvantages of WLM and Outlook.

Yes, I realize one is free and one is not -- but I'm thinking beyond that.

Microsoft is divided into business units. Outlook is a product of the
Office business unit. Since the earliest days Office has been known as the
producer of high quality business grade software that you really can't do
without. WLM is something else. Believe it or not, there are turf issues
at play...

Cheers,

Earle

I believe it.

I'd rather pay for a quality product that will have the best business and
technical minds working on it...

Continually.

Outlook has always been aimed at business users. Windows Live stuff is aimed
at consumers.
