Does the 2008 regular version work as an upgrade to the 2004 Student Edition to be able to keep exchange?

Office 2004 Student & Teacher edition is not eligible for upgrades
unless is was purchased during the Super Suite Deal promotion period,
which was November 1, 2007 through January 14, 2008.
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/go/promotions/supersuitedeal/default.mspx>
Otherwise, you'll need to purchase a full version of any Office 2008
product.
Hope this helps!

.... when you go with Client-Server solutions that don't go with Open Standards.
For those who have the choice, I would recommend looking at architectures that focus on Open Standards, Clients of choice, etc. In this particular area, this would point to server solutions using IMAP, CalDAV, LDAP and related interfaces. Not completely without own interest, for a server being able to replace Exchange under such circumstances, you may want to have a look at http://www.scalix.com - CalDAV is supported by Apple's own iCal.app client in Leopard, and for those on the move, an integrated Web client based on AJAX that looks good on IE *and* Firefox is available, too.
While Exchange is the clear market leader, this shows where things go when you lock yourself in.

When I try to sync everything, Entourage takes my contacts but wont take the info from my iCal calendars. Why

I "upgraded" from 2004 Student to 2008 Student, only to find I am now shut off from my email at school. To my apparently unsophisticated mind, "Microsoft Exchange Server Support" did not imply a client-side limitation that would be a back-step in functionality. Now, I can't even return the software, because it has been opened, so I am stuck.. stuck... stuck. The "Terms of Use" prevent me from speaking freely here, but I can definitely say that I think Microsoft has done a bad thing here.

I¹m having the same issue. I¹ve set the sync up through pocket Mac which I
understand has issues syncing directly with Entourage 2008 so I set my
blackberry to sync with ical and iaddressbook etc and then set Entourage to
sync with the ical/iaddressbook etc. All works well for the iaddressbook but
it won¹t sync up the ical which makes the nifty new feature in Entourage
(forget what it¹s called) of seeing your calendar for the day on the desktop
useless.
If anyone knows why this happens or a workaround post please.

Will Entourage 2008 be able to forward gif files and not lose their animation?

Please be sure to let Microsoft know you'd like to see this behavior

in any Office application.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
the Home & Student edition of Office 2008 does not contain Exchange
support; you'll need either the Standard or Special Media editions for
this. It is of course a shame that you can't return the product anymore,
but in all fairness, this limitation has been published by many
different sources, not to mention by Microsoft itself.

My glasses must need replacement because I can not seem to find
"Forward as Attachment" anywhere in the menu bar drop downs or in the
preferences of Entourage X.

Not at all. You asked for Office *2008*, where this option is available
in Entourage's Message menu. It was first introduced in Entourage 2004,
but was never part of Entourage v.X. In that version, you can drag the
e-mail you'd like to forward in its entirety to the desktop and then
drag the resulting .eml file back into the attachment pane of a new mail
message window. That gives you the same result.

No need to go through the desktop - you could drag out of a folder listing
into the attachments pane of a new draft message window.

Please complain to your school. If they use Exchange, they really had an
obligation to warn you not to buy it, since they apparently do not tell
you that you are using Exchange. (It seems you knew the program didn't
support Exchange before you bought it)
Also, since your school pays for Exchange, they ought to be able to
provide you with a client license for Entourage that will support
Exchange. I don't know exactly how the licensing works, but you need to
talk to the IT people at your school.

In Entourage 2004, when my assistant (who is assigned as a delegate and uses Outlook) declined, accepted or marked tentative a calendar invitation, I was able to see this at the top of the invitation in Entourage. This is not the case in Entourage 2008 - when will it be resolved?

That's as may be, but as far as I can tell (three different IT shops) if people have to do *anything* different to support the Mac, the response will be to "buy a PC" or "use parallels." I'm trying to get Entourage 2008 working with a hosted exchange company (liveoffice.com) and after hours of trying various combinations of user/domain/url have started getting "resource forbidden" messages. Those guys won't even take a support call about a mac issue, and neither will our internal IT who picked them as our vendor. Is it really that hard to have the same protocols? IMAP works great, but the whole point here is for the calendar.

The rest of the (Exchange) world is moving to OWA/WebDAV. If you've managed
to find a vendor who has disabled Exchange's native support for those
protocols, you may be out of luck. But MAPI in Entourage isn't going to
happen.

It is inexcuseable that Microsoft has decided to remove the exchange support in the Home and Student version of Office 2008.
How do we fix this?
Go to Help: Provide Feedback. This feeback goes directly to the developers. We need to create a lot of feedback and provide some logic for Microsoft to create an update and add the exchange support. Students shouldn't have to be 150 more dollars for one minor thing. And the whole concept of a student version is to provide the same software at a cheaper price.
SEND FEEDBACK-Hopefully we will be listened to.
