Nope. See below.

If you don't have any basis for what you state, you're only spreading FUD.

Exactly. I see no proof that Entourage and Outlook for PC share code, nor
for Outlook on the Mac. Therefore to say that "Entourage is the renamed
Outlook for Macintosh" is totally false. If there are any substantiated
verifiable facts that they do share code, put then on the tabel please.

These apps should be treated as separate entities with their separate set
of problems.

I kinda like Entourage, but it's a bit slow unless you have stellar new
hardware. I really think PowerMail <http://www.ctmdev.com> beats them
all. I'm not sure how it plays with Exchange servers, but I don't see why
POP and SMTP wouldn't just work (barring the possibility that Exchange
only have non-standard MS-POP and MS-SMTP). 
Anyway, I think PowerMail let's me see and deal with a lot of messages
(currently 150 000+ on 200+ folders), search among these at blistering
speeds and let me focus on *the messages*, not the app in question.

It doesn't have the calendar and task functionality of Entourage, but I
use Palm Desktop and Fast Track Schedule in that area and feel this works
well for me.
