Student edition of Mac Office 2007

Does anyone know if the student version of Mac Office 2007 will include
Entourage? I just found out that the Windows Student/Home version does
not include Outlook, and includes OneNote instead. Hope that is not
the case for Mac Office; I really like Entourage!!!

Thanks,
Rahul

Nothing has been announced, but I would think it will be included.

The 2004 S&T edition contains exactly the same apps as the standard edition,
you just get 3 license keys (and can't buy upgrades). I would expect the
next version to be the same.

Especially since the number of Office applications is rather limited on the
Mac, as opposed to the number of applications available for the Windows
platform. While there are only four core applications on the Mac, Windows
Office has many more apps that have never been ported to the Mac, such as
OneNote and Visio, to name only two of them.

Thanks all! I guess we will have a definite answer later this year --
just wanted to see if anything had been officially announced.

Some additional slightly educated guesses:

1) most college students use university Webmails but take a lot of
notes--OneNote over Outlook sounds like a real improvement in the
Windows version. (OneNote is similar to the Notebook Layout version in
Word 2004, but more powerful)

2) Outlook on Windows is mainly a corporate program (I think). Entourage
and Outlook are *not* the same program, nor intended to be. While
Entourage is the corporate Exchange client, it is also aimed at the
non-business user, and is closely tied to Word, which students are
dependent upon.
