Entourage Records in Spotlight? .Mac sync?

[trip.foster]

For the MBU:


2 Questions:


1.
When can we expect Entourage integration with .mac/sync so you can
synce multiple entourage clients using .mac/sync? (and you can sell
more entourage licenses!) Obviously keeping contacts, mail and calendar

up to date on multiple machines is critical. People want to sync home,
work and maybe even a laptop together to keep all their PIM information

on all thier computers up to date--I would think based on Ozzies memo
this would be in the queue of things you are working on. Any thoughts
on when we will see it?


2.
When are Entourage records going to be searchable in Spotlight? Right
now this is a barrier for more ubiquitous Entourage use...most heavy
mac users are using iCal, Mail and Address book because of search (and
sync) capabilities with Spotlight (and .Mac). Any word on when we will
see this?

Even though there are Microsoft employees who read and post to these forums,
it's unlikely they'll communicate new, groundbreaking non-troubleshooting
information here that you won't find elsewhere. I suspect that when this is
announced, you'll see some mention here:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/>

Your queries are discussed a bit here:

The article below indicates that work to make Entourage work with Sync
Services has been in progress for some time, so you might see that at any
time. It's not very clear, though, as to whether Spotlight integration will
be coming or not in this version, much less when.
