Microsoft Stops Development Of Outlook Express

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday August 13, 2003 @02:10PM from the looking-out-on-code-freeze dept.

Jman314 writes "According to a ZDNet story, Microsoft will cease development of their Outlook Express email client. "The technology doesn't go away, but no new work is being done. It is consumer email in an early iteration, and our investment in the consumer space is now focused around Hotmail and MSN. That's where we're putting the emphasis in terms of new investment and new development work." says Dan Leach, lead product manager for Microsoft's information worker product management group. Microsoft's alternatives include, not surprisingly, the full version of Outlook."

Don't you think it would be better if they wrote straight forward apps for everyone so you didn't need wizards in the first place?

Thank God for Apple.
