Outlook 2007 and Windows Live Hotmail: Outlook Connector

For those that want to manage their Hotmail account (now known as Windows Live Hotmail) from Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can download the Microsoft Office Outlook Connector free of charge.  You can also view your Windows Live Hotmail contacts in Outlook with the connector.  So go check out all the benefits.  I just installed it and it works great.

For those that already knew about the connector, shame on you for not telling me.........duh, why didn't I know?  Well, some of us are just slow to adopt...
