19 Aug 09 Entourage to be ended and replaced by Outlook Mac
In 2010 Mac Office Suite.
Microsoft will not include Entourage (mail client) that is email client for Mac Office applications. It will be replaced by Outlook.
Mac Office new version is scheduled to release in 2010 possibly in holiday season. There are several issues with Entourage mainly because of its incompability to corporate exchange mail servers.
I obviously think this is a good move from Microsoft. Not only because it will basically erase bad experiences and name association with Entoruage, but also will offer pychology advantage to many people who are familiar with Outlook and Microsoft Office Suite, so to speak.
Generally, I enjoy using Mac Office and I usually do not have any issues regarding Entourage. However, change is what general people hate to adapt and Outlook Mac will enable user more of smoothness and similarities of Windows based Outlook granted, not all the functions and capabilities are the same.

Agreed. I think including Outlook in Office for Mac 2010 will generally be a win for Microsoft and the end user. Outlook is much more robust than Entourage. Until 2010 arrives, I’ve written-up a number of Entourage tips and tricks that I think may others will find helpful. I thought I’d share – http://blog.gingergeek.com
