HowTo-Outlook

If you are an MSDN or TechNet subscriber, you can now also download the RTM release of Business Contact Manager (BCM) 2010. The download is available in both in the 64-bit and 32-bit edition and in many languages.

In addition, the database tool for BCM 2010 has been released as well. With this tool you can run the database of BCM on a remote server, share data and backup and restore the database.

BCM 2010 is bundled with the Office Standard 2010 and Office Profession Plus 2010 Suites.

If you are a football/soccer fan, you are probably looking forward to the upcoming Word Cup in South Africa.

To make sure you don’t forget about any of the games (time zones can be an annoying thing) Outlook MVP Marcelo Thalenberg has created a web calendar with all the matches. This web calendar can be connected directly to Outlook 2007 and 2010 so that you will receive updates as well. Previous versions of Outlook can import the ics-file.

Any other calendaring application which supports the webcal/ics format can be used as well.
