Outlook Connector update broke my OL2003
in [Windows Update]

From: FedUpWithMicrosoft on 3 May 2010 22:54 Suddenly, out of the blue, I get this message that says, "Microsoft Outlook Connector This service is unavailable right now. Please try again later...." Then, it trys to do a update anyway and brings up a Repair/Remove panel. Even though I proceed, Outlook is still offline to my Hotmail accounts. How can Microsoft do this? I paid a lot of money for Office 2003 and then they release a MANDATORY Outlook Connector update that is totally buggy. Now, the only way that I can access my Hotmail accounts is to do so via the web. This bites. WHY couldn't Microsoft leave things alone. Everything was working until this update.

From: Ebags on 4 May 2010 00:12 It happened with me as well, however I am using OL2007. OL still works but not with hotmail now. Every time OL starts up it tells me I must update the Office Outlook Connector to get Outlook Connector email. The update never applies itself. "Microcrap!"
