But it broke my Data Analysis Toolpak, just like every other update I have installed since I installed the toolpak. Now I can't do my college statistics homework until someone mails me my Office 2004 CD from home...

It syncs with iCal? No! It keeps 1 calendar synced with iCal.
At least for me! Anyone got all their calendars from iCal to Entourage? Or the other way around?

Lukas, what changed is that there's now a cache of the Entourage metadata in multiple files inside ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft/Entourage/2004. I've not had any success with Spotlight noticing all the Entourage stuff yet, though others have.

The Sync Services support works pretty nicely. I'm syncing four ways between Entourage, Address Book/iCal, via Missing Sync 4 to my Palm, and via iTunes to my iPod.

All I can say is that the office apps -- especially Entourage run way faster, i feel like my G4 PB got a new lease on life.

They enabled support for password protected/encrypted files in Word and Excel a couple of revisions ago but still NOT in Powerpoint! The only application I need it in!!

I thought Spotlight would never be able to index Entourage items, because Spotlight is file-based and Entourage is database-...uh...based.

Wait, here's where I got that idea: http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars/9

So what changed?

Hm, what's that noise?

Oh, right, it's everyone who paid for e2sync swearing at their computers.

Syncing and Spotlight works pretty well. Although I think I already found a little bug. If I open an email which I found via Spotlight it's "Modification Date" get's changed to today. And unfortunately Spotlight is listing the emails by "Modification Date" and not my "Received Date". Anyone else noticed that?
