C|Net | at | by Mike

Microsoft's next release of Office for Mac, due in January, will include business features that PC users have taken for granted for years. That will include the ability to set up out-of-office messages, according to a preview in Microsoft's Office for Mac team blog.

"With Entourage 2008, you now have the ability to configure your out-of-office settings," said Andy Ruff, program manager for Entourage, the counterpart of Outlook in the Macintosh version of Microsoft Office.
