RIM it’s time for a UNIVERSAL desktop app?
Could this be partly RIM’s fault for only natively supporting windoz?

I also agree with bluehorseshoe (those keeping score mark this one down, ha ha ha) “I’m not a fan of Entourage” either. On the Mac IMO entourage is not best of breed. Many Mac users try to keep anything M$ off their machines, IMO there are now many alternatives which allow M$ Office to be bypassed, yet give the ability to work with M$ documents. BES is not a solution, does anyone know the ratio of BES to BIS users? With the Pearl, Curve, and other pro-consumer models coming out bet BIS is gaining some ground.

Either way think M$ made a mistake by removing BB support, perhaps a patch or some 3rd party software will bring back the function?

Don’t let the FUD and the anti-consumer practices of Apple fool you into believing that Microsoft is at fault here. The Macintosh is a closed proprietary system not compatible with almost 90% of all desktop computers and if Apple really had consumers interests at heart, they would create a native synchronization solution for the BlackBerry.

Shame on you Apple.”

Learn the TRUTH before posting your FUD.

This story is wrong. Entourage 2008 is a sync services client. Most enterprise users would have a BES server so this is not an issue for them. You should check around some more.

bluehorseshoe is correct. I meant most companies that have standardized on Macs use Exchange for their email system, not most companies have standardized on Macs.

@ Zander

I think Robb was referring (meant to say) to companies that do use MAC’s. The entertainment and publishing industries are big users, with a good 60/40 or 50/50 break on ratio. While some have used Notes in the past (and still do), others have crossed over to Exchange. I think the numbers out there prove that Windows rules the roost when it comes to the desktop and messaging.

Robb, you can’t be serious when you say that “Most companies have standardized on the Mac” Most companies don’t even have a Mac.

bluehorseshoe,

That is a very good point. There are an awful lot of (most) companies that have standardized on the Mac as a platform and run Exchange for messaging. They won’t be too happy, I am sure. I admit the these companies will be the first to try to use iPhones as business devices, however, I doubt that they are throwing their BES servers out just yet.
