Microsoft Online Services is releasing a new version of the Microsoft Online Services Sign-In application (version 1.0.1423.65). This new version includes bug fixes and new capabilities announced via this Team Blog in the December Service Update. The capabilities include support for additional languages as well as support for service lifecycle prompts within the Sign-In application; these prompts provide notification about the status of your subscription.
The new version of the application will be available from the Microsoft Download Center for users and IT administrators that wish to manually download and install the application.
Installation of the new version of the Sign-In application is optional. However, unless you explicitly disable end-user notifications before February 24, 2010, your end-users will begin receiving desktop notifications about the new version of the Sign-In application, prompting them to install the update.
If you want your end-users to be notified about the new version of the Sign-In application and install the new version themselves, your end-users simply need to follow the instructions provided in the Sign-In application prompts for automatic download and installation.
However, in a managed IT environment, an IT Administrator may not want end-users to receive prompts or notifications from the Sign-In application. Administrators can disable the update notifications by performing registry edits on users’ machines or applying a Group Policy administration. Instructions for disabling update notifications and service lifecycle prompts are published via this Team Blog post: Disabling End-User Notifications in the Sign-In Application.
Well done guys. Looking forward to take it for a spin. Where is the download? At the Download Center, it only displays the old/current version

We would like to talk with an organization that has made the move from Exchange on-site to online. If you are willing to share your experience and have over a few thousand mailboxes it would be great to hear from you. Thanks.
Greg,
