Outlook 2010 message size bug fixed!

Sweet! It's rare that MS has done a public beta of an office product. It's rarer to patch a beta. It's even more rare that I feel somewhat responsible.

Recall my Outlook 2010 message size bug?

Outlook 2010 and Text Messaging

Again, this is not really an Exchange 2010 feature, but an Office 2010, Outlook Mobile 6.1, and Exchange 2010 Activesync feature. I blogged last week about this particular integration into Outlook Web App. This is what is looks like in the new Outlook 2010 Beta, included in the public Office 2010 beta program. The integration here is seamless, and while in meetings and roaming with my laptop, I am able to send and receive texts to my inbox!



Obviously, a majority of my contacts are on email, but one of the upsides of living in the middle of Texas is that I can get grass fed beef locally, and while I was in a meeting today, I was able to get this text message from my phone that I left in the car. And a nice little phone icon to differentiate from emails!
