No, it would not. They have no plans to integrate a newsreader into what is
primarily a business application (client for Microsoft Exchange Server).
And, personally, I hope they do not. I can't imagine having to manage both
mail, groupware, and news in one application.
And people complain about bloat now! Plus, why reinvent the wheel when
there is a perfectly good application that already exists and is free?

| || To get the News command back, go back to the Programs tab in Control
|| Panel |
|| Internet Options and change the default newsreader to Outlook
|| Express. If
|| OE prompts you to make it your default newsreader the next time you
|| launch
|| it, clear the "Always perform this check..." box and then click the
|| No
|| button.
||
|| You may need to reset the Menu Bar and/or restart Outlook and/or
|| reboot your
|| machine in order to complete the process. Not everyone is reporting
|| success
|| with this method, but try it and see what happens. If all else
|| fails, you
|| can always create a desktop shortcut to Outlook Express and include
|| the /outnews switch -- that gives you the same result as accessing
|| the
|| newsreader via the News command in Outlook.
