The EHLO blog (The MS Exchange team) has posted some links to information on new features in Entourage 2008. Entourage is the Mac alternative of Outlook. It’s used to access an Exchange server.
<RANT> OK – why the hell are people buying "handbag PC’s" in if they are using a Microsoft server infrastructure? Hello!?!?! Just spend €600 to get a good PC with Windows on it and install Office. Another €100 gets you a Windows laptop. They’re cheaper to own too. And this rubbish about Mac OS being more secure and more stable. Pure and utter RUBBISH! </RANT>
Anyway, long story short, Entourage 2008 and Mac Office 2008 will give you as much as they can to access a MS server infrastructure. You will never get the full and integrated experience that Windows and Office 2007 will give you. It comes down to a dependency on Windows RPC.
Check out the links if you’re unfortunate enough to have those fashionable white PC’s on your network and you need to give them more than basic access to your Exchange servers.
Can you tell that I’m a fan of Macs on an MS network? 🙂
