Office 2008: It still sucks (well Entourage & Exchange)
Once again Entourage doesn't work with Exchange properly, unbelievable that you have to have OWA (Outlook Web Access) running to use Entourage properly, which my work does not. Great looks like I'll still be using Outlook 2001 in Classic for another four years!!!
Check out/digg my full rant here:

And this is why you don't install Microsoft products in the first place. If your workplaces used *industry standards* instead of some bastardized propiatery protocols (and for something so important like email for christsake!), this wouldn't happen.
However, IT managers are constantly suckered in by the MS pitch (and the free lunch and dinner and golf resort holiday) and end up buying their shit without consulting the alternatives and the consequences of installing MS software in the enterprise space.

Luckily I think we'll be sticking with IMAP here for a very long time.. hoping to bust some balls about caldav being used for calendar/collaboration campus-wide too..
Hey doesn't Mail 3.0 do the whole exchange dance?

Okay, this might be OT here, but I went to the product launch here in Perth last night and street date isn't til the 31st.
What gives with people getting copies early?

Mail supports it in the same way Entourage does. It relies on OWA or uses IMAP. It's not a true Exchange connection. |

Thread title just made me laugh after reading (and being reminded) of MS offering people who upgraded to Word 6 a free "downgrade" back to 5.1... 
Ah, Word 5.1 was the best...

That is arguable...
As for '08, I'm just angry it doesn't work with spaces apparently. Still waiting for my copy to 'arrive'.
As soon as that is done, I will post my article. |

Office 2008 Discussion
This is now the official thread for discussion of Microsoft Office 2008. Post your thoughts and complaints.
All relevant threads will now be found here.
A couple of stern but necessary rules;
1. Keep the iWork vs. Office discussion to the appropriate thread
2. Keeping in mind that Office 2008 has not been released here yet, direct discussion of how you acquired your copy is not permitted as per the rules of MTAU
Discuss! |
