It looks like not everybody can participate to the public beta…

This is nice, but late. The bigger thing I'm waiting for is a MSN Messenger client that can actually do video communications with windows people. That'd be nice :)

I think the .pst idea is good.

Nonetheless, I transfered close to 2 GB worth of 2 .pst when I switched my office laptop from Win2K to Mac, with 100% success rate, all attachments, folders, etc, by using this method:

(note: the route is OL > Mozilla > Entourage > Mail.app: For some reason, you can´t do Mozilla > Mail.app)

So if you find the MS beta buggy, try the Mozilla way!

MS have already confirmed that video on Mac Messenger will never happen due to same lame excuse about an ancient codec they use which is not Mac compatible. Begs the question -- why don't they convert the codec?

Hm. I didn't expect this to become a thread on Messenger.

Yay an import tool! Super! Now if we could only get Outlook for the Mac. I wish MS would just give up this idea that Entourage is everything and make Entourage a kick-ass personal email program and make a version of Outlook for the Mac that is a kick-ass corporate email program...

I believe I am not the only one who agrees:
