Suggestions welcome

[Update 12/11/2009: the Make Office Better website is now closed. --JP]

I found a website called Make Office Better which is run by two Microsoft employees. They're collecting suggestions from the public on ideas to make Office better. Here's my suggestion: a macro recorder for Outlook!

Outlook Macro Recorder

This is a long overdue feature, that with the inevitable demise of VBA, might even be moot. But VBA is still around, so a macro recorder would be extremely useful for exposing the properties and methods of the Outlook object model (in the same way it does for Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc).

Vote for my idea and maybe we can start a movement!

Update 8/11 3pm: Dick Kusleika has been browsing the Make Office Better site, and so has Chandoo.

    I like the concept of this web site. I found it very slow to load, and only four items per page is not enough. Also someone has posted many duplicates of the request to bring back the 2003 interface, which will happen when pigs fly. (And Mike, I don't mean when you throw BaconBits in the air!)
