Outlook for the Mac: Suddenly Everyone Loves Exchange

Posted on August 13, 2009 |

Microsoft's announcement today that it was bringing Outlook to the Mac, reported by my colleague Arik Hesseldahl, was a very curious one. The product is not due for more than a year, when it will hit the market as part of a new version of Office for the Mac, and the announcement was, unsurprisingly considering the lead time involved, very short on details.

I suspect that Microsoft's decision to pop the news now is related to the fact that Snow Leopard, Apple's upcoming new version of the Mac OS X operating system, includes comprehensive support for Exchange, Microsoft's heavy-duty corporate mail, contact management, and calendaring system.
