Microsoft and Apple Cozy Up for Office 2008 for Mac

Sugu's comment - Apple and MS have not been getting along well. I think it's because MS has always tried to have monopoly and Apple has put importance in originality. However, improvement in their relationship is in progress for the win-win results.

The Apple version of Office does not come with Outlook, the excellent e-mail client for Windows, but rather substitutes Entourage. I like Entourage, which also can sync with local ISPs or corporate Exchange e-mail systems. People either love Entourage or hate it; the latter crowd ends up with Apple's native e-mail client or something like Thunderbird.
