No, functionality is no better in Outlook 2001 than Entourage, so why bother? Outlook 2003 has features that make it better than Outlook 2001. Can Outlook 2001 vote? Can it access more than the top level addresses? No. So why bother running one single Classic application, when Virtual PC gives me a bunch of apps I couldn't otherwise run on my G5? (Well, as soon as they fix the over 2 gig bug in Virtual PC 7 anyway.
I had an executive from the XBox group describe Outlook as the "ugly stepchild" of Office. I'm bound to agree. I love Entourage 2004 for its project center. Outlook 2003 and 2001 don't have that. And it gives me enough Exchange capabilities to make me happy. Fortunately for me, no one in my company is computer-savvy enough to use the features in Outlook 2003 to make me want to do more with Entourage 2004 than I can do. So I don't need VPC or Classic. The best of all worlds. As for my comment about Evolution, if we got an ambitious programmer to port Evolution, it would be OS X Native. A whole lot better than a Classic application even if they are feature-equivalent. (I have Suse Linux at home too.) on 10/7/04 8:34 PM, John C.
