Re: How to change default web browser in Entourage

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

This is probably veering outside the topic parameters of this group, but I
would hope that if Microsoft is going to use Safari as the default Mac
browser for its applications, it will improve the functionality of Outlook
Web Access using Safari. It's horrible right now -- doesn't look anything
like it does on the Windows side when using IE, and is very user-unfriendly
and difficult to navigate. Unfortunately, my company does not allow
connections to the Exchange server from off campus, so I can't use Entourage
from my iBook at home and am stuck with Web access.
