[MacTUG] Entourage EWS released

[Donald Duff-McCracken]

Yes it works in our environment -- I have run it for a few months and not
noticed any issues.

I was a beta tester and it worked quite well and (as I am writing this) I
have upgraded to the non-beta version and it works as well. So it would be
good for other folks to test it out.

Having said that, as a mac user I am uncertain which program I will use in
the future. The MacMail that comes with OS X 10.6 looks great from the
perspective of exchange integration, and Microsoft dropped a bombshell
yesterday (I think) stating that the next mac Office will have Outlook for
mac included! http://www.officeformac.com/.59b7a1cc
