14 DAY TRIAL // Rumors regarding a Windows RT version of the popular Outlook app have been around for a while but, according to a new report, Microsoft is now giving the final touches to the program before a public release in the coming weeks.
Paul Thurrott of WinSuperSite.com writes that Outlook is already being tested by people not working for Microsoft, so chances are that the company has sent the app to select developers to give it a try and detect any potential bugs.
While there’s no information on the release date, it appears that Microsoft refused to include Outlook RT in the first public Windows RT build due to a firmware bug affecting the ARM chipset that would crash the app all of a sudden.
As usual, Microsoft doesn’t comment on its future plans, but expect Outlook for Windows RT to see daylight soon, especially because we’re getting really close to the public launch of Windows 8.1.
