RIP Microsoft Entourage

RIP Microsoft Entourage

I made the “switch” to Apple back in March of 2003 and never looked back … until this week. I’ve been running some form of Windows on my Macbook (Pro) since Parallels came out, mostly for testing in IE. I had mentioned to someone that my Entourage had been pretty stable (i.e., no crashes in 6 months), but I only jinxed myself and had a corrupt db a couple weeks ago.

This past weekend, I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and Office in a new VMWare virtual machine with the thought of switching over to Windows Office completely, including trashing Entourage for Outlook. My Exchange account in Outlook finally synched up a couple hours ago and now I’m reading this!If Office 2011 for Mac is hobbled at all, I’m not switching back. MSFT, your timing stinks.
