The software giant, Microsoft Corp on Thursday launched a Web Service Edition of Entourage 2008 for Mac, which allows Apple Machine users to synchronize with its tasks, notes and categories software.

It may be noted here that Entourage is a Microsoft email application, which comes with Word, PowerPoint and Excel program created for Macintosh computers. Entourage
2008, Web Services Edition needs Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later.

Microsoft also unveiled its plans to replace the Entourage e-mail client in its Office with its much awaited Outlook version of Mac suite in 2010. Entourage e-mail client, which is a part of Office-Mac 2008, lacks backing for important exchange features.

The GM of company's Mac Business Unit, Eric Wilfred said, "Outlook for Mac will deliver the functionality that businesses have come to expect from Outlook on Windows."
