Microsoft opens Exchange to Apple users

C|Net | at | by Mike

Microsoft has fulfilled a long-held request of Mac OS X users by allowing them to access corporate e-mail and calendar information stored on a Microsoft Exchange server. The new feature was made available Monday as part of a free upgrade to the Entourage e-mail, calendar and address book program that is part of the Mac version of Microsoft Office.

Microsoft had promised in February that such an upgrade would arrive sometime this summer. Mac OS X users have been asking for Exchange support since Mac OS X debuted more than two years ago.
