Microsoft Outlook Coming To Mac Office

Microsoft today announced that the next version of Office for Mac will ship with Outlook. One major obstacle to adopting OS X in the workplace for many has been the lack of Microsoft Outlook for Macs—as Outlook is the de facto standard for most corporate environments.

Macs had Entourage, but that’s always seemed more like a creaky workaround than a full-fledged solution. With the new version of Office for Mac, set to release sometime in 2010, Outlook comes to the Mac (and eliminates one of Lifehacker Australia editor Angus’ biggest misgivings about the Mac).
