'Designed for the Intel-based Macs, the 2008 version is significantly faster than previous Entourage versions and offers better integration with Exchange for scheduling and 'Out of Office' reply management.'
Kawika Holbrook, IT director for Sterling Communications, was eager to install the software on Macs throughout the public relations agency.
