Every version of Entourage that I've used has imported my previous
version's data without me losing anything. I never made the leap from
Office X to Office 2008 (skipping Office 2004) but I heard many folks had
issues with that although it was a supported upgrade path.

My suspicion is that Outlook will only upgrade the two prior versions of
Entourage (2004 and 2008). Of course, I can't say how well it will do
this. It's in Microsoft's best interest to make this easy and make it work
well. Of course, if it doesn't then we always have Diane. :-) She's become
the master of stubborn conversions.

Microsoft has already announced the end of the monolithic database with
Outlook 2011. Messages will be stored as individual files making Time
Machine backups, or really any backup solution, much easier.
