The People app is your address book. You can add your contacts and keep in touch with friends and family. The People, Mail, and Calendar apps work so you can easily send mail to and schedule appointments with your most important people.

The People app lets you pin up to three contacts directly to the taskbar, where they will appear as buttons next to the People button.
