Microsoft will officially debut "MOOL" on Monday, ratcheting up its MSN consumer offerings.

As Microsoft endeavors to broaden its MSN reach through added consumer offerings such as e-mail and search tools, MOOL brings these efforts full circle into Redmond's prized Office System. MOOL connects Hotmail and MSN mail accounts to Outlook and provides synchronization of e-mail, contacts, calendar entries and tasks.

Great! More bells and whistles for their bloatware that will be open to viri and exploits.
They should focus on fixing their already released garbage before releasing new stuff. I just wonder who invented the new features, and how much they paid them for it. Assuming they paid them.

"mool" is what they made in the Ringo Starr classic "Caveman". On DVD from 1981. Actually I think it was food.
