I have the Office 2007 with me and I have recently read about the Outlook Social Connector so I want to know what it is and how does it work. I have not got a chance to try this for me and would need help regarding the Outlook Social Connector. Please let me know about this. I have the Windows 7 as the operating system on my PC and will be happy to know if that can run on my system. Is the Outlook Social Connector compatible with the Outlook 2003?

You had asked for the compatibility and I think that the answer for this is straight and a big NO. I have seen that it is present in the MS Outlook 2010 and hence I think that there can not be compatibility from the current (new) version to the older version and hence I think that is the simple answer from my side. If you want to use this thing for you then you will be required to have the Microsoft Outlook 2010 with you so that you can use it on your system.
