Outlook on the desktop

While I would love to be in an environment where I had to use only Macs, in the business world its rare to see that - especially in India (okay, the music and film community here is the major area where Macs are prevalent). So, I get to use a windows laptop and Outlook at work.

I found this tool called Outlook on the Desktop yesterday while going through my reading list of newsfeeds. Great for bringing outlook's calender right where it matters - on the desktop. Its already done wonders for my ability to stay organized in the one full working day I have used it. Lets hope this keeps up ;-)

Some feedback on the program: I have this possibly unique situation where I need to restart outlook if I leave the office and try to connect back in or if I used Outlook outside the office and am returning - has to do with Outlook's IP address cache not refreshing often enough. Would love for a programmatic way for this program to auto-launch (or re-launch) along with Outlook.
