Future for Entourage?

[Timothy Mathews]

Fairly new to the Mac world, I just bought the Home and Student edition of
Microsoft Office and, thus, got Entourage. Having fiddled with it just a
bit today (day one of using Office for the Mac) I think I'm going to really
like it BUT don't want to end up wasting a lot of time on a dead program.
I understand Microsoft will be putting Outlook on all future Office for Mac
versions but as Outlook isn't normally a part of the Student and Home
version I'm wondering if that means we'll still get Entourage or if it means
we won't get anything at all.

Can/will anyone clue me in as to whether or not Entourage will continue to
exist? Well, I hope you all understand I mean continue to be included or be
available should people like me want to be able to use it?

Thanks,
Tim

PS I read about two weeks' worth of this newsgroup and saw nothing about
this BEFORE I asked. ;-)

The short answer is Entourage will be replaced by new version of Outlook
that will be part of the Office 2010 that may be released during the
holidays. You will still be able to use your 2008 Entourage.

Minor correction. It will be called Office for Mac 2011. Office 2010
is for Windows.

But, I would assume, eventually, Entourage withers away. Is there any word
where a version of Outlook will be included in the Student and Home Edition?
