When Microsoft releases its next version of Office for Mac late next year, it will include a capability that will finally bring it into parity with its Windows counterpart: Outlook for Mac.
This new application will not be merely an "Outlookized" version of Office for Mac 2008’s Entourage – Outlook’s weaker sister – but be fully new app, written from the ground up in Cocoa, Mac OS X’s collection of frameworks, APIs, and runtimes.
Speaking to reporters today from his offices in Redmond, Eric Wilfred, general manager of Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU), also said that the new Outlook for Mac will have a new database. "We are refreshing not just the front end, but the guts of the application," Wilfred said.
