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

As first reported by BetaNews, MOOL, or Microsoft Office Outlook Live, extends MSN Outlook Connector and Hotmail integration beyond MSN's Premium service.

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.
