During the course of today's presentation for Microsoft Partners on
Microsoft's current mobile devices, I had the opportunity to ask the
question about Outlook BCM and WM 5.0.

Question: Outlook BCM support in Windows Mobile 5.0 - what is the status on
this? My customers are killing me over this.
Answer: BCM will have an update (don't know the exact release date) but we
are addressing the issue.

So there is no release date so far, but I read the word "update" as not
requiring a version "upgrade" to Office 2007.
 
Thanks! Any chance the next time you meet with them you could ask about a
status for getting BCM contacts viewable in OWA? I understand it might not
have all the data but name, phone, e-mail would be one hell of a leg up.

I can probably write an application to make that possible actually :-)

The question is whether I want to support it and whether it even makes sense
financially vs. simply going to MS CRM 3.0 Small Business.
 
Depends on how much MS likes ACT, Saleslogix, Goldmine etc being the market
leaders I guess. It seems like if it isn't about making an interface more
Mac like MS doesn't really want to invest development time.
