Comments on: Microsoft testing subscription Outlook

Service would offer consumers access to the company's Outlook e-mail and calendaring program along with 2GB of storage.

Who's stupid enough to trust it?

Given MicroShaft's history of collecting personal data without expressed permission; and a penchant for security lapses -- who's going to be stupid enough to trust this "service"?

Oh wait. The same idiots who buys from spam.

Hmm...

That "stupid" person you mentioned should be you, I guess.^^

Well, how about the Fortune 500?

Ever heard of the Fortune 500?

Outlook is one of the most widely used corporate messaging systems. I'm guessing that a company as profitable and clued-in with IT managers as MS isn't going to launch a service like this without first making sure that the demand is there.

Go back to your basement and play some more dungeons and dragons, script kiddie.

Outlook may work for some...

.. but it demands effective isolation from unwanted eyes, like on
a protected corporate server (if anything can be really
protected). The idea of trusting Microsoft to hold some person's
or company's critical data is beyond stupid, it's virtually criminal.

After all, Passport is a dead item, a dead Microsoft 'store your
personal data' item. Outlook as a MS subscription item should
follow Passport into the dumpers.
