Maybe not even installed anymore if they are using the newer versions of Office.  For several options of the Office Suites you need to purchase MS Outlook seperately now (same with MS Access).  I can't speak for everyone, but at this point I gave up on MS Outlook and now use Thunderbird instead.  Can't really see any upside to paying extra mulla for an Email client & Calendar I don't use much anyway.  If it was included I would have kept using it but now it is not even installed on my windows 7 PC.

Of course other folks may find more value with continuing to use MS Outlook and are prepared to pay the money (It was about $100 AUD last time I looked, but that was a while back now), but it is likely to be less of a 'given' now included as a default software package in all Office Suites.

cheers
Darryl.

Installed, yes.  In use, no.   

Many people use non MS  email clients even though they are using Word, Excel etc.
