    There is nothing more nagging than a wife except a GF which is a close 2nd....

    Apple is really coming on strong these days....

    Still want a quad core Macbook though. :(

    The question is: will the .pst files be compatible, if someone was converting from Windows based Outlook to the Mac version

    I got the Entourage Web Services thing installed today and it actually works. It properly let me get my mail, and did the My Day stuff (which I will be happy to see go, that really is a dorky app). It doesn't feel quite as fluid as Outlook 2007 but it's very functional.

    I look forward to an actual Outlook for Mac though I hope it's not just a revamped Entourage.

    I'm happy with Entourage, and on a personal note I like the name better than "Outlook"

    While I highly doubt the PST files will be compatible, I'm sure the Import and Export function will more than suffice.

    That's a close second. I can live without OneNote. I can't live without Outlook. I even have it on autostart on my laptops.

    I haven't tried... but does the Windows version of Outlook not work fully good enough in Crossover? its an officially supported application, but I know there is always some little issues trying to run things in Wine.
