Mac Office 2008: Entourage Improvements

This may be the Office 2008 update most of you have been waiting for. Today over at Mac Mojo, Microsoft serves up the straight dope on the new Entourage 2008 mail client. Today, they're mostly discussing calendaring (since that was one of the biggest sources of user complaints). What's so great about the new version, you ask?


  • Set your meeting status directly from the calendar
  • Improved meeting organizer tool for updates to meeting status, etc.
  • Reply, Reply to All and Forward meeting information (and access these options directly from the calendar)
  • Better handling of stale invitations
  • Better notifications of conflicts and adjacent appointments
  • With our new Exchange 2007 server, better handling of the "Automatically accept meetings as tentative" feature
  • Better resource booking

That's the list the post covers. Here in ITS we have access to the latest beta builds of the new product, and though we can't talk about them, we can tell you that there are some other very nice new features coming in this next release. Stay tuned for more information.
