There was an interview with Kevin Browne on either the MS Mac website or
MacNN right after the Microsoft demo of Office 10. In it, he said that they
didn't want to show off the cool new features of Entourage. I don't really
know what this means, but it sure does sound good :)

OK, found it at: <http://www.macnn.com/feature.php?id=289>
The only component of Office 10 with which Microsoft was mum is Entourage.
The MacBU officials we met with told us that because of the software's
relatively new code-base, they were able to make so many drastic
enhancements that they are saving the debut for a later date.
