MS office Outlook Live

Well, the big thing, along with larger mailboxes (and other features) found
in hotmail plus accounts, was the inclusion of outlook. From my account page
at billing.microsoft.com:

<>
Outlook Live includes a 10GB MSN Hotmail account and a subscription copy of
the most up-to-date version of Microsoft Office Outlook, through which you
can manage your e-mail, calendar, contacts and tasks. The service also
offers anti-virus protection, advanced junk e-mail filters and calendar
sharing, as well as integration between Microsoft Exchange Server mail
accounts and Hotmail through the Outlook interface.
</>

If you don't need an outlook license, then you can save $40 by dropping to a
plus account or $60 by dropping hotmail plus outlook. Hotmail plus features
include 10 GB storage, support for larger attachments and no acct expiration
(if you go a few months without checking mail).

They are changing the program, although I don't know how or when it will
change - its no longer offered to new subscribers.

Thanks for your response. I',m wondering if my subscription is interfering
with the way Outlook Connector works. 'Windows live Calendar' doesn't sync
with Outlook and I get Calendar synchronization errors. How do you tell the
Outlook Connector which calendar to sync with?

I still have this service on my account- Its like $59/ year. If MS is
now
offering hotmail to Outlook calendar synchronizing for free, then what is
the
point of this service? The support URL for this product (below) seems to
require a credit card, so I was hoping to figure out whats up here. TKS.

Each connector account will only sync with the calendar in that account. if
you have another live account, you need a second connector account set up.
