Google Maps Add-In for Outlook

Posted by

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?
