Microsoft launchces Office Outlook Live
January 20, 2005 by Mike Wendland
Microsoft today announced Office Outlook Live, a subscription offering that integrates Outlook with MSN Hotmail into an easy-to-use email management solution. This is the first Microsoft Office product to be made available as a downloadable subscription service and provides customers the ability to manage multiple e-mail accounts, calendars, address books and to-do lists in one place from virtually anywhere, even offline.
Sort of like .Mac has been doing for a couple of years.
With an Outlook Live subscription customers will receive the latest version of Outlook ? currently Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 for Subscription Services ? plus 2 GB of online storage, the ability to send 20MB attachments, and advanced spam and virus protection, all for $59.95 per year.
I have .mac and I wonder if this will prompt Apple to get w/ the program and allow larger attachements? Yes, they just upped those limits to 10MB, but I still run into problems occasionally. I also get 1GB w/ a gmail acct for free. How about .mac giving me 2 GB for my $100?
