Will you guys be talking about finally making Entourage as good as Outlook for Windows is? The differences between Entourage and Outlook is just astounding -- Outlook is amazing, and Entourage is mediocre.

Hello. I'd like to help out things. I'm not quite sure how to become an MVP so maybe someone can point me in the right direction...

Remote Desktop Connection — I was thinking of filing a missing persons report for the development team for this application :)

Adam,

Check out the MVP FAQ linked to at the beginning of the blog post. Start monitoring the newsgroups and trying to help folks out, that's what you can do to begin with.

Sigh;-)

Sorry I can't be there with you this year guys - it looks like a good programme you have lined up. I look forward to catching up on the news later.

Have fun with Office 2008!

A request that I have is to make the MSN Messenger app update along with the rest of the office suite. It makes no sense for it to be a separate and "non user-friendly" update.

For the time being, the current Microsoft Messenger update process really provide better instructions. As a tech savvy individual, I figured out that I have to drop the updated app into the Microsoft Office 2004 folder in my Applications folder. However, everyone else in my company thought that all they had to do was double-click and run the app from the disk image. There should be a basic background image in the disk image that simply states that the app needs to be moved in the Microsoft Office 2004 folder in the Applications folder.

Entourage works really great for my company. However, one feature that I see in Outlook that would be really beneficial is the ability to see overlapping calenders. If it could emulate the way iCal does it, that would be excellent!

I got some very nasty comments from one of your MVP:s in Microsoft user groups for my honest and simple question. Since then, i have scared to ask anything. Most valuable, hah, to whom?

Just a word to the wise. If you participate in the user newsgroups, your email will be posted forever on Google. Think automated spam-email-harvesting-robots when you decide what email address you choose to register with.

Entourage needs to be absolutely 100% compatable, with an almost identical feature set to Outlook on Windows. Otherwise, it really makes using Office:Mac less attractive for Mac users. Integration with outlook/exchange systems is absolutely vital and it's a shame to have to resort to 3rd party applications / plug ins/downloads and various work arounds and hacks to achieve this.

Also, is there any chance that you guys could work on getting MSN messenger some video conferencing capability?

Yahoo's done it!

I have a suggestion for packaging, could you please use Hologram disk like the Office for Windows folks? Their disk look HOT!

Another small request, I want to be on the private beta for Office '08. :P
