I was very surprised to read the above. I had been looking forward very
much to the release of Office 2001 for X, but if it isn't going to have
Entourage.... Will it have Outlook, instead, I wonder? I MUCH prefer the
sleek Entourage to the bloated behemoth that is Outlook.
Not creating a version of Entourage for OSX basically means relegating it to
the scrap-heap. As much as I like this program, if I find out for certain
that there will be no OSX version of Entourage, I'll begin shopping for
other programs, since continued us of a 9.1 program when everything else is
in X just doesn't make sense.
Anyone else have any more information on this?
