I'm a member of several non-public mailing lists dealing with Microsoft's unified comunications solutions. I can assure you that that plugin got lots and lots of attention, both good and bad, from inside and outside of Microsoft's communications communities.
Unfortunately, most of those communications are covered under NDA - and it's generally not worth it to me to keep up with what has become public (so that I can talk about it), unless it directly involves the topics I'm interested in... So....I read the announcement that it was fixed, that Google had announced it, and an update would be distributed. I filed that item in my brain and moved on. :-) ________________________________________ From: Mike Gill [lis...@canbyfoursquare.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:40 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Google Apps Outlook sync plugin Where/how did you find out about the fix? I was unaware. Ironically, they post in their blog entry about the update: "To access these additional features and fixes, current users are being updated automatically to the latest version" The entry is dated June 30th. I've been running the broken plugin up to last week and it never notified me an update was available. -- Mike Gill -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

It works just fine for email, just as the Outlook Connector does for Hotmail/Livemail/etc. But it doesn't provide any collaborative functionality, as far as I can see. ________________________________________ From: Richard Stovall [richard.stov...@researchdata.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Google Apps Outlook sync plugin Other than the plugin disabling Windows Search inside Outlook, does anyone have anything to say about how well or poorly it works? I'm just beginning to evaluate Google Apps Education Edition for a small K-12 school (<100 users) and I'm actually rather keen to test out the sync feature. It seems like MAPI without Exchange, which would be the bees knees for smaller clients such as this particular school.
