Microsoft Office Outlook Live- Outlook Lights Up With MSN Hotmail
20 January 2005Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) today announced the availability of Microsoft(R) Office
Outlook(R) Live, a new subscription offering that brings together the power of
Microsoft Office Outlook with MSN(R) Hotmail(R) in the United States, the
United Kingdom and Canada (English and French).
Outlook Live connects MSN Hotmail, the world's largest free Web-based
e-mail service with 187 million accounts worldwide, with the advanced e-mail
tools of Microsoft Office Outlook, providing customers with a way to more
efficiently manage their lives. This is the first Microsoft Office product to
be made available as a downloadable subscription service. With Outlook Live,
customers can now view and manage all their personal information -- e-mail
accounts, contacts and calendars -- in one convenient place, from virtually
anywhere. With an Outlook Live subscription customers will receive the latest
version of 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 an introductory price of $44.95(1) until April 19,
2005 (regularly priced at $59.95 per year).
"Outlook Live is the most advanced consumer e-mail service available from
Microsoft and is perfect for individuals who really want to get the most out
of their e-mail," said Blake Irving, corporate vice president for the MSN
Communication Services and Member Platform Group at Microsoft. "MSN is
committed to delivering a range of free and subscription e-mail services to
meet customer needs, and Outlook Live is the perfect addition to our
portfolio. We're thrilled to offer the service to our customers."
"By collaborating with MSN, we've been able to create a great service for
our collective customers with a true eye on consumer needs," said Chris
Capossela, corporate vice president for the Information Worker Product
Management Group at Microsoft. "Outlook Live brings the best of two worlds
together, making it easier than ever for customers to enjoy the benefits of
Microsoft Office Outlook to manage their busy lives."
Organization Made Easy
As the lines between work and home blur and consumers' lives continue to
be complex, people are looking for ways to organize their lives and simplify
their communications. Outlook Live helps customers accomplish that by locating
all important information together in one place. With 2 GB of online storage
and virtually unlimited offline storage (depending on their disk space),
customers can save all they need -- including photos, files and important
messages -- using the advanced tools in Outlook. Other features that help
maximize a customer's e-mail experience include these:
-- Staying organized and efficient. Using Microsoft Office Outlook,
customers can access, send and receive e-mail messages from multiple
e-mail accounts(2) and manage different calendars and sets of contacts,
such as work and personal. The powerful Outlook organization features
make it easy to search and organize messages across accounts by
grouping them by date, size, conversation, subject, importance or other
criteria. Customers also can schedule meetings, keep track of their
calendar or even share calendars with other Hotmail or MSN e-mail
subscribers, viewing them side-by-side on a single screen.
-- Staying in sync any time, anywhere. With Outlook Live, any updates made
-- from deleting messages and adding a new contact to scheduling a
meeting or creating a new task -- using Outlook are automatically
synchronized and reflected in customers' MSN Mail or MSN Hotmail
accounts when they are online. Even changes made or e-mail messages
composed while working offline are captured and completed when the
customer signs back online, so they never have to worry about staying
up to date. Best of all, customers can access this information
virtually anywhere from http://www.hotmail.com .
-- Staying protected. With Outlook Live, customers are more protected with
automatically updated e-mail anti-virus software, which scans for and
helps eliminate harmful viruses before they reach the computer. In
addition, improved and regularly updated junk e-mail filters in Outlook
2003 and MSN Hotmail, built on patented Microsoft SmartScreen(TM)
Technology, help reduce unwanted spam e-mail. Customers even can set up
automatic blocking of up to 500 addresses or domains and enjoy a
graphical ad-free e-mail experience.
