OSX support doesn't fall under the 'just a service pack' category in my mind, but I'm not a Mac developer so perhaps I'm naive. > Even without these fixes OL2001 is workable, we have 200 mac users who are > getting on with their jobs. Great, then there's no compelling reason for you to switch. Microsoft has been adding tiny bits of functionality into their server like WebDAV, and some subset of radicals is looking for clients which take advantage of those features and take messaging clients beyond the functionality they present today. Personally, I'd take Ximian's Exchange connector over Outlook 2001 if those were the only two choices I had for running on a Mac. Actually I'd take just about anything else, as my Mac doesn't do OS9 compatibility mode. Course discussions here on the topic aren't going to effect Microsoft much... Better you should send your concerns to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'd think. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
