Well, this thing keeps coming up and the essence of it is that MS still chooses to use proprietary protocols in Entourage, with no support for CalDAV, although I believe it does do IMAP. Snow Leopard will work both with the MS protocol, EWS, and with the open protocols, as a way to increase the viability of Mail/iCal in business environments that use Exchange. If you don't use Exchange then Mail/iCal are your best bets, or ZWC. (IMO ZDC isn't quite ready.)
Not to say that it wouldn't be nice if people who liked Entourage (and the upcoming Outlook 2010 for Mac) could have that choice, but pressure/requests should also go to MS to support common internet
protocols, and perhaps Apple to fill in some of the functionality gaps in Mail/iCal. |
