Is there *ANY* hope to see Entourage 2001 rev'd up to support the new data structures of Entourage v.X -- to allow interoperability of X and os9 versions of the application?
Since it is more than likely that users will continue to jump back and forth between os9 and osX and that certain environments (corporate) won't make the switch to osX for quite some time, it would seem like a smart thing to do, to provide better compatibility between the two. Not only that, but let's face it, the market for v.X is pretty slim right now, and by providing a new rev of Entourage 2001 that converts to the new structure, it will make it far easier for users to upgrade in the future. Also, I understand that some of the fancy osX effects won't be possible under os9 (I cry a river), but it is also a fact that the os9 version of Entourage runs circles in speed around v.X - and that's NOT the fault of the MacBU, but rather what they had to work with. I'm currently running Entourage on a 667MHz G4, and it still takes unforgivable delays to view a new message in the preview pane, or even to just open a new blank message (when I can watch a window being drawn on a G4 system, you know something's foul) - when I start and run Entourage under os9, everything is blindingly fast. Personally, I feel like the MacBU has gotten a raw deal with the rush to get Office v.X out he door, as they are certainly not responsible for the molasses like performance that the OS hoists on it. And, feature parity was possible with the IE browser - it'd be awesome if he same could be possible for Entourage. Possible?
