Microsoft is finally releasing Outlook for Mac, announcing today that starting next year, the popular email application will replace Entourage inside the Microsoft Office Suite.
For now though, Entourage lives on, with a new Web Services Edition, "so current Entourage users on Exchange will experience improved e-mail and calendaring support." The download is available here.
We’re more webmail people ourselves, but for those of you working in a more corporate environment (or simply preferential to Outlook), here are a few of the features that Microsoft is touting:
Cocoa: Built from the ground up using Cocoa providing users with improved integration with the Mac OS
New database: A high-speed file-based database with support for backing up files with Time Machine and Spotlight searching
Information Rights Management: Helps prevent sensitive information from being distributed to or read by people who do not have permission to access the content
