Hosted Exchange and Entourage

All -

Entourage X, with the Exchange add-on, is an ugly beast. Why Microsoft
opted to shaft Mac users with Entourage, I don't know.

If I'm right, and doing things right, after configuring the Exchange account
in Entourage, it actually does two things:
1) Create an IMAP 4 connection to Exchange, shadowing each folder. This
creates a second calendar folder (one in entourage, the other as a subfolder
in the IMAP4 store).
2) Uses WebDAV to do calendar integration/interaction.

I understand there's no MAPI on the Mac. I do. But this is just UGLY. Two
calendar folders, and klugy integration. Am I missing something?

That said, does anyone know of a good hosting company that supports
Entourage against Exchange? VPN connectivity is fine if required.
