I don't recall anyone saying that there was a *perception* that Microsoft claimed Entourage 2004 would achieve parity with Outlook as an Exchange client. Since perceptions can be totally wrong - and often are - that's nothing Microsoft can or need reply to. I could say that my perception was that you promised to stand on your head for 3 hours if you got this wrong. That doesn't make it true - it just means I mistook my wishful thinking for the real thing. John is asking for documentation of any such _real_ claim. There isn't any. They said it would be better than 10.1.4, and it is. They've said they intend to go on improving it, and they will. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
