New Entourage Exchange features: What and When?

B

Ben Borofka

At WWDC, The Microsoft Mac BU Manager announced very vaguely, that
Exchange improvements to Entourage would be coming soon. Does anyone
have any idea when it's coming and what improvements will be? Seems
like we've been waiting a while to get any improvements to Entourage or
Office in general.

On another note, I heard that Microsoft writes their products in
CodeWarrior... looks like they're going to have a lot of fun migrating
to Xcode for Mactels.

The only thing that has been said officially is this:
Increased Exchange Support for Entourage 2004
Microsoft built enhanced Microsoft Exchange Server support into Entourage 2004
and will expand it further with an update to Entourage this year. Enterprise
customers will benefit from improvements that allow viewing of multiple
calendars and increased integration with the Global Address List (GAL).
Enhancements also include better server and client synchronization and
permissions, as well as improved public folder experience and mailbox quota
management tools. This update will be released during the second half of 2005

Anyone who knows anything else is most certainly under NDA and unlikely to
tell.

Yes, but they did commit to doing so :)
