Not so Live Meeting
One of my side projects this year was helping our department role out Microsoft Live Meeting. I will write more about that fun [sic] project later, but for now I wanted to see if others were having the same issue with Outlook 2007 that we are. It seems that some users still have the Live Meeting add-in pack toolbar and buttons in Outlook 2007 and some users don’t. Even after a reinstall of the Live Meeting add-in pack they still no luck getting it to reappear.
I was pretty surprised with the response I got back from the Live Meeting support team:
Thank you for your inquiry regarding compatibility issues with Live Meeting and Office 2007. Unfortunately, Live Meeting is not fully compatible with any Office 2007 software since Office 2007 is still considered a beta product at this time. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
That is pretty funny since I opened this ticket on December 1st, the day after the Office 2007 launch. You would think that Microsoft would test their own products with the betas? With Live Meeting the answer is no.

Have you had any luck with this yet? I’m looking at getting this working with Outlook 2007 as well.
Hi Ron, no luck here. From the last time I talked with them I think they are just waiting on Live Meeting 2007, due out mid-year. You can check out an okay video about Roundtable/Live Meeting 2007 here.

The escalation to the development team will remain open and active until work is completed on the issue however this support ticket will close. [...]
