Microsoft fills Outlook crack with Apachesource

[spinynorman]

Microsoft has created a pair of Apache-licensed open-source projects to crack open its ubiquitous Office suite.

 

The company said the projects will let developers building non-Microsoft and non-Windows applications browse, read, and extract emails, calendar, contacts, and events information currently encased in Outlook's .pst file format. The ability to write data will be added to the SDK in the "near future", Microsoft said.
