[11.22.06] Coming Soon - Plaxo for Office 2007

Howdy folks,

As many of you have noticed, Microsoft recently produced an RTM version of the new Office 2007, including a new Outlook. With this new version you'll see Microsoft added some new UI, particularly in the toolbars and the Contacts folder. Unfortunately, the existing versions of the Plaxo Toolbar for Outlook and Outlook Express only half-work with this new version. The synchronization should all work, as well as our own Plaxo UI that is generally triggerred from the menu or toolbar. However, some areas where we integrate with Outlook's UI, such as the Click-To-Connect buttons in e-mail, the Card View of Outlook's Contacts, and the view of the contact's details when a contact is opened, are not compatible with this new version.

Not to worry, however, for a new version of our toolbar is on its way! This version will be compatible with this newest Outlook offerring as well as all previous versions that we currently support.

Here are a couple screenshots of this work-in-progress. First, is the Click-To-Connect button in Outlook 2007's preview window:

And the new Contacts summary view:

While I can't give an exact timeframe, we hope to have this new version ready in a few weeks or so. If you'd be interested in helping us out and giving an alpha or beta version of this new toolbar a try before the official release, we'd love to hear from you - just write in at forum.plaxo.com or to the Plaxo Yahoo! group.

Office '07 will be officially released the end of this month - and there hasn't been any news since Bryan's post on 11/22...

Any updates?

Two weeks post Vista release ... Office 2007 is long released ... any updates?

We now have a beta version that has support for Office 2007 and Vista.

You can download it from http://down.plaxo.com/down/beta. Please remember this is a beta version and testing has not been completed. E-mail support if you run into any issues with this.

Thanks for your patience!

In perhaps an excess of caution, I've uninstalled Plaxo for the time being, now that I'm running Outlook 2007. You'll provide a notice when either a beta or official version fully compatible with Office 2007 is released?

Thanks,

Bob
