I have no idea why people would use (except Word and Powerpoint) Office for
Messaging/Calendaring unless they are using Exchange???

I much prefer having the address book, calendar, and email all in the same
program.

I prefer to have newsreading in the same program as my email.

Entourage uses my AutoCorrect entries from Word.

It *would* be very interesting to know how many non-exchange, non-news users
there are, e.g., how many regular home/school users chose entourage over
Mail et al, without the lure of news or exchange. This newsgroup is skewed,
I think, as Exchange simply generates a lot of questions, which often show
up here.

However, even by your lights--if the only people using Entourage are
Exchange users, then that simply means even fewer development resources will
be dedicated to Entourage, pitting the "keep the corporate exchange users
happy" budget against the "keep the much larger number of non-corporate
users who use Word, Excel and Powerpoint happy" budget in the fight for
resources within the MacBU.
