Up until now, if you wanted Microsoft's Outlook e-mail client, you had to buy the company's Office suite.
However, the most recent release ? Outlook 2007 with the Business Contact Manager contact management application, which comes as a component of Office 2007 ? has been so popular with small businesses that Microsoft is now offering it as a standalone package.
Demand for a standalone release grew out of small business needs for consolidating contact information from more than one application in a single place. The standalone version enables customers to track sales and marketing activities such as organizing contacts, and customer information, according to a Microsoft statement.
