I don¹t see this as being a bad thing. Why force that bloat on the vast majority of us that have nothing to with Exchange? If you use Exchange, use its client. If not, don't worry about it. Be grateful that something that the vast majority of us don't need isn't being shoved done our throats. You have SimpleText and you have Word--different tools for different jobs. Outlook 2000 is a grotesque, bloated, ill-designed monstrosity. > I am currently looking at the possibility of having to switch to an Exchange > environment and don't look forward to having to use both Outlook for > Exchange mail and scheduling and Entourage for my 8 POP and Hotmail > accounts.

Why is so much effort on these two products being duplicated? I synch my Visor with GroupWise at work (Gee, why doesn't Entourage support GroupWise? Could it be because neither it nor Exchange are open Internet standards?) and also with Entourage at home. It ain't a biggee.... -- _______________________________ You say you are lying.
