Since my last post there has been the announcement from M$ of an enhanced version of Entourage which will connect to Exchange servers. Typically, there are no real details that people could use like which Outlook features are going to be implemented and which are not, whether Entourage support for PDA sync-ing will be available on Day 1, etc. Stay tuned!
I think MS is playing a dangerous game at this point. The corporate managers have all been roped into Enterprise Agreements for 3 years. Sun, Oracle and various open-source projects are beginning to align to exploit the high cost and frustration that these professional decision makers are feeling. When this first round of contracts expire, if there are solid alteratives available, corporate managers will line up to switch. The lack of detailed announcement on Exchange for X is an ace example of an opportunity for somone over the next two years.
