Outlook For Mac Comming Next Year

Interesting ... I run OWA (web-based) on a Mac, so having Outlook on the desktop would be an improvement. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of Outlook or exchange server. Microsoft Finally Making Outlook For Mac:

Apple (AAPL) Mac users will no longer be subjected to Microsoft's (MSFT) crappy Entourage email app: The company says it's finally making Outlook for Mac as a part of a new Office bundle, which will be available late next year.

Why now? Perhaps because Apple is offering Microsoft Exchange support in the next version of its OS X operating system, which will ship in August, and Microsoft needs to give companies another reason to keep paying for Office. (And, in this case, upgrade.)
