Customizing OWA themes is quite simple to do. Here's an example of a theme I just put together, I call it "MOOWA": The fun part about this theme isn't so much the graphics as the sounds: included are a "mooooooooo" for the new mail sound as well as a

Over the last three or four years I've seen an increasing trend here at MS: complaints about off-topic discussions on DLs. A thread will start out on a DL and (since we're all human), at some point (if the thread is interesting and complex enough), someone

Executive Summary: I highly recommend TypePad for anyone willing to pay a few bucks for a third party to host a blog for them. A great combination of features and usability. I have got to hand it to the folks at SixApart, they have done a great job, TypePad

As I promised before ... it's now live. A ton of kudos for the mscom team for listening to community feedback and implementing these great features. RSS Feed that points at the root of all the blogs registered for Exchange [i.e. a notification of newly
