Windows Live Local for Microsoft Outlook

I am not a user of Microsoft Outlook, but I know my share of people who are attached to it like they are to their own head. If you're such a person, you will perhaps be interested in a Windows Live Local add-on for Microsoft Outlook. The free add-on from Microsoft (Windows Genuine Advantage check required) integrates the Windows Live Local mapping service with the email/calendar/PIM client. It "enables you to add maps and directions to your Outlook meeting requests, calculate the travel distance between your start location and your appointment location, adjust your meeting departure time based on the estimated travel time, store custom locations, as well as print the map and step-by-step driving directions to take with you on the road." Sounds pretty sweet to me.
