Google Maps Add-In for Outlook
There's a Google Maps Add-In for Outlook now. Quite handy for those of us who still choose to use that PIM. I've been pretty hard on newer releases of Outlook (beyond Outlook 2000), but I have to admit that I'm looking forward to taking the next version of Outlook for a spin. I've seen preliminary pre-beta builds, but I've heard rumors that most of what's changed in Outlook is the plumbing – which was in major need of overhauling. I'm still not sold on the vertical preview pane, but that's easily toggled off. We'll see if they handle RSS correctly in this new version, too; if their implementation is a watered-down version of NewsGator, they'll have missed a tremendous opportunity. Here's to hoping I can upgrade to a better experience soon. Did they really push Microsoft Office 2007 back to 2008?

Program Incompatibility between Google Maps Add-In Program and Microsoft 2007 Outlook. The add-in program for Google Maps will not work with Microsoft 2007 Outlook. With Microsoft 2007 Outlook Program installed, I attempted to use the add-in program for Goggle Maps. The installation program would get about 2/3 complete when an error note would appear looking for a particular file which was not available. Then the next time I tried to open Microsoft 2007 Outlook, the error note would reappear asking me if I wanted to fix it, Yes or No. If you clicked of yes, it would repeat the same error as initial installation. If you clicked No, it would say google maps was being loaded with reduced capability. I reported the problem to Microsoft and tonight they called to tell me that they did not support the Google ad-in maps program and it’s inclusion in Microsoft 2007 Outlook installation was not their responsibility. I don’t understand how Microsoft can include the Add-in map program in their installation disk and then claim that support was not their responsibility. I am reporting this to Google so that Google will know of this incompatibility problem.
