That was in Entourage 2001 on OS 9. There was a preference to remove the
close button, which I think may even have been the default. The interface
guidelines for OS X don't let them remove the red close button - it's
Apple's rules. 

BUT - there's a yellow button for minimizing. Just learn to use it without
so much fuss. Part of any major change - like OS X - is that some things are
different. If it's too annoying to learn to do things differently - which is
understandable when people have busy lives - just stay in OS 9 and don't
change any of the ways you're used to. No one's forcing you to use OS X or
Office X.

Not all that much - just the Progress Window and switching apps. That's
probably about 1/1000th of the interface of Entourage. And it's out of
Entourage's control - that's just how OS X behaves. It's part of what we all
have to learn to use, like the Dock. Now I'm really used to the Dock and
don't like going back to OS 9 where I can't find it. but at first it took
some getting used to not going up to the Application menu. Same thing with
not being able to collapse windows. I feel I "can't" minimize all my windows
- too many. But of course I can - and minimizing is much neater. Then
there's the "Hide Front App" and "Hide Others" - great features.

Just start remembering to click yellow button instead of red. In two weeks'
time you'll have forgotten all about this.
