It was free, when it was Outlook 98
IIRC it used to be a free download from MS, back when they offered the Outlook 98 and IE 4.0 bundle for Windows 95/98 and NT. The lawfirm I used to work for took full advantage of that and switched to Outlook from the Windows 95 "Inbox" and Exchange clients they used to have and use. They downloaded the install files and put them on a network location.
Sure it had its limitations and flaws, but they used it anyway.

Nope
Outlook is the Exchange client, and a member application of the Office suite.
You need one of two things to legally run Outlook:
* An Office Standard licence * An Exchange CAL
The version of Exchange that the CAL is for determines what version of Outlook you can run (in the absence of an Office licence):
* Exchange 5.5 : Outlook 97, 98 and 2000 * Exchange 2000 : Outlook 2002
Hope this clears things up.

Huh?
I ran Outlook 98 at home, for free, didn't use Exchange, used an Internet POP3 and SMTP server. There was an Outlook98.exe program that I downloaded from Microsoft, and it installed Outlook 98 and IE 4.0, as far as I knew if Microsoft allowed me to download and install it, I had a right to use it? It was, at that time, as free as IE was, as far as I knew.

Perl - ICK!
I'm just not a perl guy. I respect it but never could get my head around it and never found a reason to work at it. Plus I'm already running postgres for my db. Thanks tho. I was hoping it was a java servlet thing.
I'm already running the wiki you can find at devtools.org on a resin server and its quite good. I'd like to find a blog that runs on these as I already know how to cope and don't have to add more stuff.
Your blog looks really good tho.

Re: Perl - ICK!
I never touch the code - I just followed the instructions on how to install it :-)
Apparently you can hook it up with MySQL if you want, but I think that for my little blog the Berkeley DB storage it uses is quite adequate.
It could be written in Visual BASIC.NET BizTalk edition for all I care.
Oh.
Except it runs on my Debian GNU/Linux HP9000 server, which has a PARISC processor...
