Calling it the "most significant" upgrade in a decade, Microsoft Corp. today revealed details for its project management application, Project 2010.

The new version will include tighter integration with Microsoft Outlook e-mail and new collaboration features for buyers of the mid-range Project Professional version.

Project 2010 will also be the latest Microsoft application to adopt the Office "Fluent" user interface, better-known as the controversial "Ribbon."

Finally, Microsoft is cutting the number of versions of Project from four to three, injecting portfolio management capabilities from the short-lived Project Portfolio Server into Project Server 2010.
