Since Commodore 64 in fact. Wifey wanted a Mac so we bought one and I was lost. The one button mouse was very odd. I searched for mac video training and found a bunch of videos that were a big help. I just wish I had of found them before stumbling around aimlessly for a while! I was a pc guy forever. Since Commodore 64 in fact. Wifey wanted a Mac so we bought one and I was lost.

However, I just discovered today that Entourage doesn't sync tasks with Microsoft Exchange servers. As a disciple of Getting Things Done, this is a deal-breaker for me. I need to work with tasks on my BlackBerry, and I'm not willing to physically sync what should sync over the air through Exchange. I know Microsoft's Mac unit is coming out with a new Office suite - one that doesn't include the awesome new toolbars in their PC version, which also frustrates me - but I've heard that the new version of Entourage STILL won't sync tasks with Exchange. Is Microsoft trying to discourage serious business customers from switching to Mac? If so, isn't this an anti-trust issue? If my BlackBerry can sync tasks with Exchange, why can't one of Microsoft's own products?! As a last resort, how well could I run Outlook on a MacBook Pro using VMware? Is it even worth switching if that's how I have to run my system?

The other new feature I use all of the time is Spaces - I develop .NET apps in a Windows 2003 Virtual Machine and have that run full screen in a Spaces window. That way I do not have to resize, fumble around with too many windows on the main desktop. Time Machine has worked great so far – nice backup software that works!
