Why it's called Entourage and not just Outlook?[edit]
- They are two distinct products. It's more analogous to Outlook Express than to Outlook, but it's not just a port of Outlook Express to Mac OS X (similar, but not identical). – Ringbang 15:45, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- The article states Entourage is essentially analogous to Microsoft Outlook., so which is it? Is Entourage a program similar to Outlook, a personal information manager that includes an e-mail client, or similar to Outlook Express, a half-assed e-mail client that includes a half-assed Usenet client?Kar98 23:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- I used Entourage 2004 for several months before going back to Outlook 2003 (mainly because my PC is a lot faster than my Mac :-) )... it's definitely a lot closer to Outlook than it is to Outlook Express. Warrens 23:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
- Yes they should basically include the same features, but are NOT the same program at all. ~LinuxeristE/L/T 03:58, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

- There is a good article written by a Microsoft MVP on that subject, explaining the history of the two applications [1]76.217.211.246 (talk) 19:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Correction of Mac OS version[edit]
- For Entourage 2008 the minimum OS required is OS 10.4.9. 76.217.211.246 (talk) 19:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Name[edit]
- It got renamed just yesterday. You are right, of course, so I've renamed it back. Warrens 15:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
Limitations[edit]
Is 'limiations' a good point? This would imply that Entourage is supposed to be a Mac version of Outlook when it addresses a very different market with different needs. It also seems to read as a Windows user has come across it and can't find the same functionality. This is not a limitation as far as Entourage 'out-of-the-box' is concerned. The additional updates since do add extra support for Exchange conectivity when in a Windows environment.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Markrich (talk • contribs) 2006-07-04 12:43:31 (UTC)
