2010 is out in the marketplace, on Microsoft’s volume license price lists and installed (at least in Office Starter form) on many new PCs out there. But there are still a couple of complementary technologies that aren’t available yet. not talking about Office Web Apps, the free version of which is still missing some promised functionality, as Microsoft itself has acknowledged. I’m talking about other related technologies of interest to both consumers and smaller business users. of these is the Facebook plug-in for the Outlook Social Connector. Microsoft officials said in February of this year to expect that plug-in to be available from the first half of 2010. Yes,

More than sufficient grounds alone to upgrade to 2010. But rather inexplicably, Business Contact Manager–which seems perfectly suited to micro-businesses and startups — is only available in quantity licensing direct from Microsoft. Thus, BCM is effectively unavailable to those who need it most, and who would actually use it.” Contact Manager is currently available to volume licensing customers only,” a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed. are working on finalizing the plans for non-VL customers.” The spokesperson provided no date as to when that might happen, however.
