Some leaked screenshots of 10.5.2 shows a way to turn on the 2D dock anywhere through the UI, as well as a setting for whether to show the top-level icon in a stack as the topmost folder or the documents inside it, and there is also an new stack view, which is just like the old hierarchical menus from Tiger. I look forward to it.

I’m not interested in that stuff either. I still use Entourage - it has good scripting support, it supports labels, I like the way it handles my unified inbox, my signatures, and so on. I like that it doesn’t do “RTF” email and so on.

But you’re right that there’s not much information out there about it.

I don’t use Word often (it’s still good to have around). I never use PowerPoint. I don’t use Excel since getting Numbers.

@Erik Previously (and for the last few years) I’ve used Entourage version 10 (the one before the current release). I’ve been trying to read about the upcoming 2008 version. Most of what I’ve seen seems to grow the program’s project management stuff which I’m just not interested in. Right now I’m still undecided. We’ll see.

I still use Entourage, and I even bought another copy of Office:2004 on Black Friday ($100 rebate) so I can get Office:2008 for $6.99 S&H via their "Super Suite Deal."

I sync Entourage with my Address Book, too. And use iCal (disabled Entourage-AB syncing).

@Daniel Thanks for the link. Seems like a lot of setup but maybe. First I need to decide if Mail.app will work for me full time. I wish after all these years they’d at least intro a hidden preference for this.
