Microsoft to Add Exchange Support for Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the exchange-is-so-2002 dept.

rgmoore writes "MacNN is reporting that Microsoft will finally make a full-fledged Exchange client for Mac OS X. Today, Mac users can only access the full range of Exchange services by using Outlook 2001, available only under Mac OS. Mac OS X users could either use Entourage, or they could run Outlook 2001 under the Classic environment. Microsoft is now promising to update Entourage so that it will be able to access all of Exchange's services, and they're even promising it will be available as a free update. Since many companies love to use Exchange and have made a big deal of Mac OS X's lack of a viable client, this is a big step forward for Mac users in a corporate environment."

  1. to the "priest" who makes fun of abuse victims by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    It is not a funny thing to make fun of:

    1.) a situation which has caused innocent children painful emotional problems

    2.) a beautiful faith which has served the world for two-thousand years

    Just the fact that you are on the internet means that you are wealthier than 85% of the earth's population and that you have an understanding of computers. You can help people with those two resources of yours.

    For example:
    You could volunteer to build a website for a local church or charity organization - they'd be happy to hear from you about that and your work would be used and seen by a lot of people!

    You could write a letter to some of your local government officials in support of an issue you like (maybe banning internet sales taxes?)

    You could enroll yourself in college, if you haven't already, and get a degree in computers, or History, or whatever other subject you might like

    These are just three of many, many things you could be doing with your time - things that will make the world a better place than it is right now. Maybe these are small things - but I guarantee you that you will find more fulfillment in them than you do signing on to Slashdot and writing letters about the victims of abuse.

    Here good websites for channeling energy in a positive direction:

    Good luck. I hope you find something that brings you true peace.
