Here, in a nutshell, is the point that I am trying to communicate, perhaps
poorly in previous messages:
On a Windows OS, be it 98, ME or 2000, I can use Outlook 2000. I do not
have to upgrade an operating system from 98 to be able to use the very
latest upgrade or version of Outlook 2000. It is multi-OS version compliant
(if there exists such a term).
Why is it, however, that in order to use an upgraded, improved or future
version of Entourage beyond the first release, that we will have to upgrade
the Mac OS each time? Is this a double-standard from the way such programs
are being developed for Windows, and if so, why?
>From a sales and revenue standpoint it would seem like a wiser choice would
have been for MS to continue to make future versions of Entourage compatible
with 9.x _as well as_ OSX so that the customer base is as large as possible,
rather than force consumers to upgrade their OS. Or is this a technical
impossibility given that there are such dramatic differences between 9.x and
OSX?
