This is M$ answer to Google Inbox. It's just so that they can keep up with the trends. 200 mil in school fees if you want to call it that.

edit: I am not a Google or Microsoft hater, both have their strong and weaker areas.

TBH, I think Google Inbox is Google's response to Accompli itself.

The fact that MS have bought the company just brought a bigger budget and more market focus.
