![]() ![]() ![]() Students and other note-takers will love the new notebook layout view (a Mac first), which mimics the look of lined notebook paper and makes is easy to type in well-organized notes and outlines. Word, the writer's staple, includes two notable improvements this time around. While the price is right, Entourage's various utilities are so thorough and well integrated that it puts Apple's efforts a distant second in quality. ![]() All in all, Outlook 2003 still offers more features (such as the ability to place voting buttons in messages) Entourage offers the core Exchange functionality but not all the extras Outlook users get.Įntourage's main competition comes from Apple's own Mail, Address Book, and iCal apps, which are preloaded on every new Mac. On the plus side, the program's Exchange (2000 and later) support now uses WebDAV. We like the quick view and easy navigation this setup affords.

It is loaded with far more new features than will fit in this review, some of which bring it to up-to-date with the Windows version and others of which are Mac firsts. Thankfully, Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac has all the reasons we could ask for. When the previous Mac version of Microsoft Office came out, we were happy to see that the entire suite had been rewritten to run under Mac OS X but dismayed that beyond that there were no compelling reasons to upgrade.
