Try the Outlook Voice Access demo

I've been away for a week skiing in Canada, and I'm a bit behind on my blog reading. One thing about long flights though is that I can catch up with what everyone's saying and I can flag interesting posts to blog about to when I get a bit more time. Something

More Office 2007 resources

I make no apologies for this. We get quite a bit of email internally that most of us just delete,. or return to at a later date. Many of these emails contain a wealth of resources that I strongly believe that should be shared with a wider audience. Why

Unified Communications - where's mine?...

Hmm, Day two of our technical conference and I'm irritated. The sessions so far have been really good, the opportunity to chat to the people in the product team is always great. I get to hear what's going on at the moment and what we're doing in the future
