Outlook Express will be improved, says Microsoft

Microsoft has now said it is not planning to stop development on the world's most popular email client, Outlook Express, after all.

Product manager Dan Leach told the press earlier this week that no new work was being done on the product, and all efforts were going to be concentrated on MSN and Hotmail.

Leach now claims that Microsoft had already changed its plans for Outlook Express before his comments were published, but the changes had not been communicated to him.

Maybe they discovered that no one was going to pay for them to make an e-mail client with others out there for free...

As a stock holder I am not to thrilled about this.
