Well, one could say it is about time. But instead we’ll just say, we’re glad this happened. The Microsoft Office Outlook Team has launched a blog, appropriately named the Microsoft Office Outlook Team Blog. (Hey, there’s no small ‘s’!)

Now that we’re working on our next release we’ve decided to create a team blog where we can talk about a wider range of topics. We look forward to having folks from all across the team posting about the tons of different features and functionality in Outlook.

We want to make it easier for everyone to find information, directly from the source, about the way Outlook works and how to get the most out of our product. We’ll be talking about what we’re working on, how we decide what to do next, and cool things you can do with the product.

For now, we’ll be communicating mostly about the current release, Outlook 2007. When the time is right, we’ll begin to transition to discussing details of the next release of Office and Outlook so you can learn more about what will be coming in the future.
