Ah.... There is the rub. Now if only some smart pre-doc would take up the
challenge and create the techniques that will help the software developers
in developing error free software.
Now if Microsoft was truly as innovative as they claim, and still desire to
be the Pre-Breakup ATT of the software world. They need to create the
software equivalent of Bell Labs and put some very smart minds into advance
basic software research. --- This reminds me.... PARC, are they still
around? And how much longer can the computer industry live off of their
ideas?
But lets get off of this ranting about good/bad software and get back to the
original post in this thread. Entourage is 1.0, simple, basic. And as such
its not bad. Not great either, just not bad. Now what do we want to see?
What should the Entourage team be spending their time on. Speed and Palm
sync are two. I want the ability to sync the database between computers. And
what about GroupWare? Do any of you out there in small, Exchangeless offices
find this to be a needed feature. I have this terrible image of the
Entourage team slaving away on some broken feature that marketing says is
important and broken. Only none of us know that this feature is broken, and
even less care. If we don't speak up on what we feel is needed marketing
wins, and what's important to us goes unheard.
