Early adapters probably did not feel "milked" or they would not have adopted MS Office - Plus, most adopters were upgraders so the cost was substantially less than outright new purchase. >Sales are slipping horribly because of it, especially due to other offerings > that have been released. By Whom? Mailsmith? Eudora? Have you used these programs? Do you like them? Do you find them more useful than Entourage? Personally, I do not. The closest thing out ther for OS X is (pick one from Colum A & one from Colum B:) A - Mail Client: MailSmith Eudora (Both cost @ $40) B Personal Organizer - $50 Now Contact/.up to date - $99.00 Cost: Best case $50 (using Eudora in free mode) or over $100 in the worst case. Oh yeah, by the way, of the above mail clients, only Entourage is at MacWorld this year - no sign of Mailsmith or Eudora.... > PR is PR, but sugar coated BS is just that- sugar coated BS.

You have not seen improvements in the product since Office 2001? I have. Sorry you missed them... -- Cheers, Bob -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
