Outlook Address Book

Why in the world, after all these years on the Internet doesn’t Microsoft Outlook have a field for a personal website address and a business website address?
I know I can add my own custom field, but that seems like a pain in the neck for what I would think is a very common piece of data that lots of people have nowadays.
Is it only because I’m using my Outlook address book to manage loads of personal and business contacts?
And someone tell me why in the heck Windows Live Mail or Hotmail doesn’t have an out of the box synchronization with your Outlook address book? That would be a default fail-safe for your address book in the event something happened to your computer.
As it goes now, I use Plaxo for everything and I’m very happy with it keeping my other devices in synch.
This is just irritating.
yes, it is. and how about places to set up IM addresses for providers, AIM, ICQ, GTalk, Yahoo, etc… would be nice!
I’d like to be able to sort my Contact List alphabetically. I can do it in the Navigation Pane, but haven’t figured it out when I call up my list to send a message. I remember a day when you could sort a column by clicking on the column header. Ahhhh, the good ol’ days…. Any ideas?
