I can't believe that this is Microsoft's answer for connecting Mac OS
X to an Exchange server. Working with an Exchange server in Entourage
is painful with frequent crashes, slow performance, reduced
functionality and numerous problems with calendar syncronization.

The fact that I am considering going back to using Outlook in classic
mode is brutal! Do we have an ETA for a real solution - and not this
piece of junk. I can't believe I had to wait for this :(

My users can't even get calendar info...and the contacts
list as emails instead of address books...perhaps I don't
have it setup right...but then again it sounds like it
isn't worth the hassle.

It's not. Even if my Global Address Book worked (it doesn't because my
corporation doesn't use LDAP - I asked and they said that
implementation would cost millions of dollars), my calendar events are
all screwy and even my Personal Address Book is screwed up, with
people's names where their email addresses are supposed to be. C'mon
MS, get with it already, jeez!! Unlike Windows users, Mac users do not
want to be your beta testers, but thanks anyway okay?
