This update for Outlook 2007 adds support for the following Internet Calendar features:

Users can now respond to a meeting invitation that is received in iCalendar format with a proposal for a new meeting time.

Extended yearly recurrence patterns are now supported for appointments or meetings that recur every year or every several years.

This update also improves the compatibility between Outlook 2007 and some IMAP e-mail servers.

Download it here. Read more details about all the other fixes included in the rollup here.

If you check all the other fixes included, the combined total is pretty massive. I've been running this update for the past few days and Outlook seems to be a bit snappier overall.

This sample shows how an administrator can control which users can and cannot communicate using the instant messaging facilities of the Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007. This sample allows the administrator to place users into Organizational Units in Active Directory and to configure the sample to block communications between members of the different Organizational Units.
