Deprecation of Microsoft Outlook Client for Dynamics CRM

Towards the end of June, Microsoft announced that the Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 Outlook client will be deprecated in a future release. The Legacy Outlook client has been around since early versions of Dynamics CRM. The deprecation of the Outlook client does not mean that this is happening immediately, but is planned for the next Major Release (version 10). Version 9.0 is on the way, and the Outlook client will still be included, but with no additional features or enhancements.
