Microsoft backtracks on demise of Outlook Express
BetaNews | at | by Mike
Following the publication of comments from Microsoft product manager Dan Leach that Outlook Express is headed for obsolescence, Redmond has had an apparent change of heart. Microsoft says it now plans to continue development of its consumer e-mail client, although it is unclear how the company will deliver future enhancements.
"Recent comments indicating that no new work is being done for Outlook Express are inaccurate. Development for Outlook Express is ongoing," a Microsoft spokesperson told BetaNews. "Improvements and updates will be made available and delivered to customers."
