Entourage, when set up for an Exchange account (an additional account type beyond IMAP, POP, and Hotmail), does sync calendars to Exchange. However, in the latest releases (v11.2 and later), you have a single local calendar and one or more remote Exchange calendars. In order to put your local calendar on Exchange, you'd have to copy/move your calendar events to the Exchange account calendar in Entourage, and the data would then sync up to an Exchange mailbox (that's Exchange terminology for the server-side Exchange account). The same goes for the Address Book: there is one local and multiple Exchange contacts folders. Entourage (as of v11.2.5, since I always like to be specific) does not currently sync Tasks or Notes with Exchange. It does not interoperate with Exchange for Tasks or Notes at all, for your own data and/or for sharing that data with others.
