Office 2010 Outlook and Presence awareness
If you had already downloaded Office 2010 TP , Outlook has an excellent feature which takes communication to next level. Outlook 2010 is enabled with presence awareness i.e. If any of your contact is in Outlook is also a contact in your live messenger, a green light is shown, telling you that the particular contact is online.

This is helpful when you plan to send mail to that person but you skip it since you know he is online right from outlook.
Also, when you hover your mouse you get couple of more options which eases the communication. You can schedule a meeting, add details to Outlook contacts. This makes adding contact details quickly and also retrieve details of contacts right there. Saves time for sure. !!

@Eric : Hmm I wonder how did not notice anytime in Outlook 2007 either. This feature pops up anytime you mouse hover the contact and cannot be missed. Let me ask few of my friends to check on it.
Another thought while I am checking on it, Did you need an integration with Microsoft Office Communicator or Microsoft Exchange Server to get this turned on ? I have never seen the green icon even when I was signed into Live Messenger before.
