Your also telling 100 plus workers using Macs, Apple Mail is a failure. What does that say to your Mac users when it comes time to buy a computer and most people use them off work for, emailing and surfing. Well the tech guy at our company does not like Apple Mail says it does not do things right, Internet Explorer is not being updated, so guess we better get a Wintel.
Well if you want integrated email, calendaring, to do lists, etc all in one application, then yes, Apple Mail is a failure, and Entourage is the choice to make. This is what a lot of BUSINESSES want or demand from their email product. I'm one of the tech guys at my company, and I'm also the one primarily responsible for email. Our messaging infrastructure is based on Exchange, and Apple's mail is not the client for me to use in that environment. OTOH, for my personal email at home, I use Apple Mail, even though I have Entourage installed on my PowerBook. I love Apple and their products, but in the business world it's the best tool for the best job. Apple Mail is a great basic email program, and personally I'd like it to continue to focus on that market rather than try and become an Entourage killer.
If your tech guy is basing his techology platform decisions solely off of the fact that he does not like Apple Mail, and that IE isn't being updated, then he should be fired, and you should find a competent replacement.
