New version of Entourage, is it worth it?

I'm thinking of getting Office 2008, but I've heard not much is different. I
do just basic e-mailing really, it's it still worth the upgrade?
Also, I may buy an Intel laptop this year, so please factor in that
equation.

I have not really seen much new but if you are (will be) running on an
Intel platform, the new Office will be noticeably faster.

Not worth it..... I purchased it yesterday and it does not even fix previous
issues that 2004 had.

Very disappointed.

It's definitely worth it. One thing especially is the great new search
features which use Spotlight. Searches are MUCH faster, and you can do much
more complex searches. The saved searches are also terrific. For instance,
check out the Mail Views that come with Entourage 2008.

You can customize your toolbar.

There is a Favorites bar (under the toolbar), so you can drag a folder or a
Mail View there for quick access.

Display of HTML mail is much improved and uses the Safari Webkit for complex
HTML.

That's just off the top of my head...
