Hi- Entourage is better. In my case much quicker with far, far fewer crashes. Aside from the annoying interface change from the established standard to the tabbed model (ribbon in MS lingo) I don¹t notice the difference. We have a lot of users in my environment who cannot upgrade because of Excel dropping VBA/Macro support. I guess they will have to switch to Windows boxes or run Crossover or something to have full functionality. Having a product not fully compatible with a product of the exact same name and description on another platform is hugely annoying. People always say, ³Well the Mac isn¹t compatible with anything.² 99% of the time what they are referring to is Microsoft products not being compatible or realistically interoperable with their own products. But this has been an issue since the dawn of MS corporate products and isn¹t a show stopper for most people. Having the Mac OS has made life good enough to put up with the hassles to date.
I¹d say spend the dime! Overall it is a pretty slick product. While you have a serious hit to your productivity for the first few weeks, you get over it and get back up to speed. Office 2008 is what we¹ll all be running shortly anyway, so we might as well jump on now. -- Kurt Schultz IT Projects Coordinator Ares 1 Upper Stage 4708/239/2 From: John Blagden <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Entourage <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:29:50 +0100 To: Entourage <[email protected]> Subject: Upgrade to 2008 or not? Hi I¹ve been thinking carefully about upgrading to Entourage 2008. After all these months of it being available I¹d like to hear people¹s long-term opinions of it, and if they thought the move had been worthwhile. TIA John Blagden
