Outlook 2007 comparison to prior releases for coding?

[Tony Gravagno]

Has anyone written blogs or articles about the changes made in Outlook
2007 which break existing code, make it easier to code into Outlook
components, or fix long-term issues? Outlook 2003 had improvements
over its predecessors but it still has always been a beast to code in.
There are so many ways to code specific functions (CDO, PIA, VSTO,
etc) and each one has its own set of gotchas. I'm hoping that in the
last four years Microsoft has understood that people want to code
heavily into the Office DOM and that we need a consistent, secure, and
completely functional model.

Thanks.
