While I agree this is a good idea for a service, I think the price is a bit high. $60 a year to get email, contact, and calendar functionality via Outlook to your Hotmail account? I think it is a service that some folks would like, but I think the price point is wrong.

Not to mention the security issues. And the licensing. I mean, how many people are really going to go buy the full blown version of Office/Outlook, just to pay $50 a year, so they can have functionality that is freely available elsewhere? I know I don't own Outlook myself...it's always been provided by an employer...at least the most current version. Will this work with Outlook Express *shudder*

No, I think while this is a good idea, they aren't going to be nearly as successful with it at $59 a year...unless they sell it with a huge helping of FUD.
