Outlook Express was just a basic email program. Outlook itself is a Personal Information Manager (PIM) and contains email, contacts, calender, notes, plus a couple of more things. Entourage is the renamed Outlook for Macintosh.
As I thought. Therefore, aren't some security issues (don't ask; I'm just parroting what I've heard/read) surrounding Outlook also to be found in Entourage? Or was that just M$ bashing?
As I understand it, most of the virus/worm openings in Outlook/Outlook Express have to do with the way that it interacts with the OS as a whole.
While Entourage may, essentially, be Outlook for Macintosh, I don't believe there is any validity to the statement that Entourage shares Outlook/Outlook Express holes.
That said, Outlook Express for Mac used to have security problems, but I don't know if that was for OS9 or OSX (I believe it was OS9).
Entourage is, I believe, a completely new product that has not been shown to have any security flaws that I am aware of.
So I would say that it would be FALSE to say that Entourage shares Outlook/Outlook Express security issues, and that would sound like Microsoft bashing.
