Microsoft Schedule Plus running on Windows XP

Microsoft Schedule Plus (or Microsoft Schedule+) was a time-management software product by Microsoft, but was discontinued as part of Office when most of its functionality was incorporated into Outlook 97. It was originally intended as a companion to Microsoft Mail, but later it was a companion to Microsoft Exchange and was part of Microsoft Office 95, and later Microsoft Exchange Client and Windows Messaging, so it was later included and developed as part of Microsoft Exchange Server, which resulted in version 7.5 of Schedule+ as part of Exchange Server 5.0. The "Outlook Calendar" that was part of Outlook for Windows 3.1 and Macintosh versions before 9.0 was actually a new version of Schedule+. In spite of being discontinued, the software, however, is still included with all versions of Microsoft Office up to Microsoft Office 2003, although it is just to support conversion from Schedule+ 1.x. It is not available in Office 2007, though was present in early test builds.

[edit] Versions

Versions for Microsoft Windows include:

• 1992 Schedule+ 1.0 for Windows 3.11 and Mac
• 1995 Schedule+ 7 for Windows 95 (Office 95) and Mac
• 1996 Schedule+ 7.5 (Office 97 and higher)

Note: There are no Schedule+ 2.0 to 6.0, because the Windows 95 version was launched with Word 7. All the Office 95 products have OLE 2 capacity — moving data automatically from various programs — and Schedule+ 7 should show that it was contemporary with Word 7.
