Hi everyone,

My team is in need of usability participants for an Outlook:Mac study.  This is 
your chance to see what Outlook might look like before its release.

The study will be conducted at my lab in Mountain View, California, the week of 
March 22.  I'm in need of Exchange users for this particular study.  For more 
details about the study, and instructions for how to participate, you can check 
out my blog post:

What happens in a usability study?  You come into my lab for a couple of hours. 
 I've got everything set up here, so you'll use one of our Macs that's 
connected to my test Exchange server.  I'll ask you to do some specific things 
with Outlook — write a new mail, schedule an appointment with your dentist on 
your calendar, etc.  You'll be able to tell me how well you like (or don't 
like) what you've experienced.  In return for your time, we give you a small 
gift as a token of our appreciation.  And, of course, you get to help us shape 
the future of Outlook — but you have to sign an NDA, so you can't tell anybody 
about what you saw.  :)

If you're not in the Bay Area, or you don't meet the criteria for this 
particular study, or you're just not available that week, don't worry!  My team 
is continuing to conduct studies up through the launch of Office:Mac 2011 later 
this year.  Most of my Outlook studies are conducted in Mountain View so that 
the app team can observe them, but I do conduct studies elsewhere.  You can 
sign up to participate in our future usability studies here:
