No, I know that Outlook is a full PIM and whatnot. Thankfully, I don't use it anymore (got fed up with 20MB mailbox limit at work, so Gmail checks it via POP now). And I understand that the functionality it offers is important in an office environment. It just seems like the odd man out, and that perhaps it should be offered separately. All the other PIMs I can think of are separate apps (though both users of ACT! are probably still running Windows 95), and most office suites do not include a PIM or email client.
