Harmony - a lot of pleasure for Outlook and Google Docs users

Harmony, the new plug-in for MS Outlook by Mainsoft gave us a lot of positive emotions, which we want to share. First, is its video presentation, which is really cool. Secondly, Harmony - is really useful tool that allows to access and collaborate with documents stored in Google Docs or MS Sharepoint, without leaving MS Outlook. In particular, you can open and edit office documents directly in Outlook, search in docs content and share documents with co-workers instead of sending them back and forth. And it's not necessary that your co-workers have this plug-in installed and have Google Docs account - they just click the link in the email and the document will be shared to them automatically (for viewing or editing).

Besides, the plug-in is absolutely free and the Mainsoft CEO, Yaacov Cohen, sais that it will remain free forever. The future versions that will include functionality that IT departments want (granular control, permissioning, central admin etc) will potentially be paid. But it seems the company has a good chance to sell the startup to Microsoft or Google.
