This release really has a few very desired new features. Not being compatible with Firefox is a popular complaint about Microsoft’s web services products. This is a good answer. Hopefully, the browser compatibility issues could be addressed at the very beginning of the future new product release, so that the public image of being IE-biased can be wiped off and gain more traction over the net.
This new release also enables inserting maps and driving directions into the emails and meeting appointments created in outlook. It is even considerate to block the driving time for the meeting too.
A feature that I have been longing for is the organization of scratch pad. However, still doesn’t seem easy to move the push pins over to a different collection.
