Finally, a review of Office for Mac 2011 (PCMag)

[revelated]

Pros

Fast, flexible office application suite. Most powerful Mac office software. Highly compatible with Office for Windows. Well-integrated with OS X. Visual Basic for Applications recorded and programmed macros fully supported. Newly-designed Outlook replaces Entourage as mail/calendar/contact app.

Cons

No calendar synching with iCal. Outlook won't synch with or retrieve mail from Exchange Server 2003 or earlier.

Those interested can read the rest of the review if you like. For me I find the bolded line absolutely unbelievable. It amazes me how Microsoft takes this approach when 2007 Exchange has still not reached widespread acceptance (which is a shame, I know, but we're talking about the lifeblood of most companies here!).

One absent feature makes the whole thing a dealbreaker for me.
