We will continue to have support for using the "trident" based editor if you only install Outlook "12" by itself on a machine.  The same system requirements exist as today, which is that Word as a mail editor must match in version to Outlook.

For those worried about any quality issues, we have also done a good deal of work and architected things very robustly.  Even in the pre-beta builds I run it is super solid.

Oops I botched this one.  Please see willk's answer below.  Sorry.

Actually much of the server side of Office "12" is since we build on the whole Windows Server System. 

We will have more to say about the opportunities for developers and managed code at the PDC and beyond.
