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. -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Deus Vult |

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 "D. Spencer Hines" wrote in message ... I'm not understanding how Microsoft wants users to employ WLM versus Outlook.

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

Windows Live stuff is aimed at consumers. -- Tom Koch Awareness is free. http://tomsterdam.com http://insideoe.com |
