thoughts on Apple's x.x.1 releases
It seems to be a pattern with Apple (and numerous other developers) to have a much more finished package with a x.x.1 release. I am curious how many people would be happy with these features if they came direct with the initial release, but with the initial release coming in mid-Spetember?
I guess what I'm asking is whether a quick roll-out of the initial product is preferable to waiting a few more weeks for a more robust feature set?
Any thoughts?

Re: Any help?
Bad luck heh? I've the same problem in my office. No OSX native client for Exchange. Entourage isn't, read the doc (i made it my God) and they say "Entourage isn't an Exchange client but you connect an Exchange Server WITHOUT the feats. of Exchange, here's the hack " and so on. Give me a gun, pleeeeease
Mulberry, Mailsmith, Mail, and the others aren't Exchange compliant
What about Ical in the future?

Entourage to have Exchange functionality?
I totally suck - I can't back up this at all (can't remember where I heard or read it), but from what I understood, the next iteration of Entourage is supposed to have Exchange funt. - hence them scrapping Outlook (which blew).
Anyway. I have a few colleagues who's companies bought into Exchange (with half the _company_ on Macs no less!), so it certainly would help to not abandon Mac/Exchange users.
So. That's what I heard. Entourage = Exchange compatibility.
Toodles.

Re: Entourage to have Exchange functionality?
and it's totally false... no use of plannings, calendars, meetings, no email addresses completion (on this point, it's maybe a misconfiguration of our system administrators). Completely useless. I can only see the normal content of an IMAP box (at least, i can see it). We have 15 powermac, only one (mine) under Jaguar, and at least 150 PC (Dell, Compaq, Sun and so on). Addicted to .net, then the Exchange problem is annoying but not primordial _sigh_

audio improvements?
Any word on whether the audio capabilities of OSX will be brought fully up to par? I've been holding off updating to osx (even though Emagic Logic is now available for it) because of what I've read elsewhere on this site regarding teething problems with audio implementation. Any thoughts?

Re: No fix yet for attachment problem?
Agreed. This is frustrating in a big way. But what I have seen of D44, 46, 50 & 51 does not look like this problem is fixed.

With all the comments on Apple discussion boards about the problem that people are having getting Windows users to consistently read attachments in Mail.app, I'm hoping that they pulled back 10.2.1 in order to add a fix for that. The typical poster to that topic says that they are going to have to use Entourage, because this isn't a problem using Entourage. Both are supposedly using AppleDouble, but Entourage's Windows recipients can open the attachments, whereas Mail's Windows recipients often cannot. Seems like a critical problem to me, since what good is a mail program if you can't consistently trust the program to send documents that can be read?
