My personal opinion is that they did away with Outlook for the Mac because OS X, especially Jaguar (10.2.x) is the first OS with a legitimate chance of displacing Microsoft from their dominance of the desktop. It meets the requirements of having Microsoft Office (Word/Excel/etc). Therefore, the only missing app is a full blown Outlook client. Its Microsoft's only way to stop the tide without giving up their entire Mac offering.
