Not really Exchange Server post but:
KC just dropped me a note that the Outlook product team has recently started
their official blog site. Here is their first post that introduces the blog
to the world.
The blog URL is:
http://blogs.msdn.com/outlook/

Mmm. Well you might think so Henry, but the Outlook MVPs have privately been
discussing how "marketing" oriented it is and how it lacks in facts. My two
bobs worth: what it says about the ToDo bar is wrong - it's LESS flexible
that the old TaskPad. Some of the "new" features in the To Do bar have been
in the TaskPad for the past few versions.

According to some MVPs, MVP input is being censored on that Blog.

We hope the blog gets better!

There. I feel better now.

That's a shame, thought they might be more like the SBS and exchange team
Blogs where within the constraints of the organization they are ass "Warts
and All" as they can be. ( ...and granted we have had to push them a bit to
comment on some issues )

If they are censoring comment though then that's a very poor sign...

here's what an MVP that tried to get their responses published on the Blog
said:

" I guess they only approve your comment if it has "thank you" in it.
If they are only going to post HowTo and "Check out this feature" articles
on this blog, this site is no different from the Outlook page on the
official Office site. It's not MSDN worthy."
