    You really Excel at closing write-ups with clever endings, Mr. Allen. I was wondering, since you have such writing prowess, if you could help me find a Publisher for my new book. Its about how having a positive Outlook can help grant Access to untold millions, and help you find your Groove in life. I have been keeping OneNote here, and one note there, but I will pull it together soon. I just need to focus on my Project, learn some more Accounting, and buy a new Communicator.

    Thanks for your help, Mr. Allen. I do appreciate from the bottom of my Microsoft Office.

    I mean heart. Damn, so close. ;)

    What about OneNote? It's an incredibly popular Microsoft program, but Apple users have to resort to Parallels.

    What's taking them so long on this?

    Someone tell me the difference between Entourage and Outlook? I'm just a student so I only use Entourage for e-mail and not much else.

    @dagamer34: Outlook includes calendars and contacts and other things that integrate directly with Exchange servers, making it popular with businesses that are based on Exchange servers.

    Snow Leopard will have full Exchange support built into Mail, iCal, and Address Book, meaning that they'll sync with Exchange servers just like Outlook does now.

    @Who Shot Who in the What Now?: I should clarify. Microsoft made an excellent Outlook Exchange client for Mac OS 9. And it was FREE! Then came the switch to OS X. For a year or three we had to use our old Outlook client in Classic, then came the so-so Entourage business.

    @Barry99705: I guess I'm not sure what would make it better? I send e-mail. I get e-mail. There's no delay.

    Not defending the program of Entourage, but what's the difference between a "real" exchange server and a third party? I don't even know what makes mine 'third party' and not 'real'...

    You're never going to see official Office apps for any platform other than WM or (now) Symbian (LOL, more like sybian am I right?). Microsoft opened up for Nokia because they ship massive volume worldwide.

    Outlook on Mac?!! I used to work for a company that would not let anyone have a Mac because of Exchange. Even the graphics people that had to have a Mac for their work had a PC for their main computer and the Mac had to sit off to the side.

    Great. To cover up that Apple is building full Exchange support into their OS and MS won't, MS is finally releasing what should have been released a decade ago.

    Outlook for Mac.
