Missing OS X apps: Outlook, Acrobat,...
There are several apps for OS X people are waiting for before they use OS X as their main OS at work. I'm talking about:
Microsoft Outlook Exchange client
Adobe Acrobat 5.0 full version with Distiller
Adobe Photoshop
QuarkXPress!
Adobe Indesign
Most Macromedia stuff like Flash, Dreamweaver, Director
And I don't want my users running stuff like Outlook 2001 in Classic. That just isn't going to cut it at all. In fact I tried it and could not get it to work through classic. Anyone else try it?
Now I know Adobe will be releasing most of their apps for X soon as will Macromedia. Quark even made a commitment for QXP5 soon! What's taking Microsoft so long with Outlook? Why could they not have added exchange services to Entourage? Windows users get Outlook with their Office package. Most corporate Mac users are on Exchange networks too. I haven't heard a word on it yet.

I have seen it, and it works very very well...
BTW> I use Entourage.
My list of non OS X apps is dwindling by the day...
Number one app that is not, and that chaps my ass each day.. is PageSpinner.

<strong>I don't think Outlook Express will come out for X as I remember reading somewhere Microsoft considers it to be replaced by Mail.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I'm sure Micro$oft would prefer it if you'd buy Office for Entourage anyhow...
Microsoft Project
Microsoft Visio
