I want a Mac, but my company is stuck on Outlook for email and scheduling.

[Rik Ahlberg]

Entourage is not elegant, but it is a better Exchange client for  
calendars and contacts than anything else that runs on Leopard  
(Snerdware's GroupCal is broken under 10.5).

It's *much* simpler to use Entourage than to try to manage a whole  
separate OS install or wincing through the poor Outlook Web Access  
experience using Safari or Firefox (OWA uses lots of ActiveX, so it  
only works well in IE).

Just my 2c.

Cheers,
Rik
