Two reasons I use it.
Jeff Dickey 3rd Aug 2010
@credmedia One, clients still sometimes contractually insist that all documents be actually prepared in MS Word or Excel, disallowing compatible systems (of which there are several for the Mac). I'm learning to say "no" to that, but in this economy...

The reason that I'll be buying "Home & Business Edition" is that I made the mistake of switching to Entourage as a mail client after Apple Mail choked on my email volumes. (It's not designed for a 3 GB message store and ~500-700 incoming messages a day; I understand that. TINAR.) If Outlook:Mac 2011 doesn't support exporting of the mail store and, equally importantly, filtering rules, I may wind up writing some tools. (Not being able to sensibly manage/access filtering rules via Automation is my single biggest complaint about Entourage 2008.)

Somewhat ironic since one of my main business areas is helping SMEs get off the Windows trainwreck...
