    Well, Entourage is more than an address book... notably calendar and e-mail. If you use Entourage for e-mail, then use it for address book, if you use something else, you might find Address Book better.

    Well, after some thought this is what i did:



    I copied all of my addresses from address book to entourage's address book. Even thought address book seems so simple i think it's just a little too simple for the way I like organizing my addresses.



    But, the calendar portion of entourage I don't like. I like iCal b/c it looks cooler and I like the way it presents the information you need to look at. It could also use some improvements but i'm sure that Apple will improve it in time...



    So here's my setup

    iCal

    Entourage (Address Book and email)

    No doubt iCal looks cooler, but its functions pale considerably to Entourage.



    Entourage has task functions and its alarm functions are way better than iCal. U cannot also assign more categories and have more colours.



    For now, iCal looks pretty, but pretty useless. Unless u use iSync.....



    But its your choice.
