14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (Mac BU) announced availability of Office 2004 for Mac Service Pack 2 (SP2), introducing significant enhancements to enterprise collaboration. A result of the Mac BU's close work with its corporate customers, SP2 delivers new features to boost Microsoft Exchange Server support in Entourage 2004. In addition, SP2 provides updates across all Office 2004 for Mac applications to help improve overall product security and address top issues identified by Microsoft and its Mac users.
SP2 expands on the Exchange Server functionality built into Entourage 2004 to deliver deeper support and help provide Mac users in an Exchange Server environment with the necessary tools for effective and efficient collaboration. Mac enterprise customers can benefit from improvements that help enable better e-mail and calendar management, enhanced public folder support, and faster client-server synchronization. Users also can experience improved access to the Global Address List (GAL), including the ability to browse the entire contents of the GAL and see full organizational detail. In addition, enhanced delegate access enables new setup entirely through Entourage without having to go through the Outlook client on a PC.
SP2 also includes cumulative security updates and prioritized fixes for issues identified by Microsoft and through customer feedback. The Mac BU monitors and receives customer feedback through customer support calls and tools such as Microsoft Error Reporting Protocol, which provides bug data anonymously.
SP2 is available in English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Swedish. Customers will be notified and may download SP2 via Microsoft AutoUpdate beginning later today, or can download it from http://www.microsoft.com/mac.
