Entourage and Exchange Server?

I admit, I am a total clueless when it comes to Microsoft or PC's. I
am the owner of a small business with 8 Apple computers, all with
Entourage. Is the only way for us to share contacts, see calendars,
etc. to buy a PC, with Microsoft Windows and an Exchange Server? I
was excited about the possibility of sharing, but didn't know I would
have to buy a new computer and exchange software. Does anyone know
if Microsoft plans to have some kind of exchange server program for a
Mac?

It will be the only way to do it with Entourage.

If you have a webDav server you can share calendars using Apple's iCal, but
you will lose a great deal of the functionality of Entourage.

my 2 cents... do not use exchange email server. find a different email
server. anything will be better.

Gap in the market it seems.
