I know most of us if not all of us have heard or considered using the Google suite of apps and products. As small business owners, entrepreneurs and overall techie people, it is very appealing. Well according to Microsoft (Yes I know and hear all the wohs), they are saying not so fast. So much so, they published a recent white paper putting a black cloud in Google's Cloud. It is becoming more and more interesting to see the cloud wars play out. Well more to come...But read it. Worth the time.

Our thoughts go to the people in Japan. May God watch over you. No matter what God you pray to. Human Kindness traverses any religion.

Office 2011 has finally come out with a decent product that gives the MS users and fans a reason to consider Apple. Here is why:

1. Entourage creates separate store files upon entry and exit into the app. These then get dumped in a hidden location ( download a free app called Disk Inventory) which causes a phantom file which by the way eats into drive space. So run that app and you will see. Outlook 2011 works like it's MS counterpart - which is a good thing.
2. A note to remember Is Office 2011 does NOT import smart folders so all you users that live by this...stop. Drag all this mail info Another folder under the inbox and then import it as a ost or pst.
3. Multiple exchange accts are now supported and work great. Even color code them.
4. Interface looks really smooth and Mac-esq. I think MS is finally catching on.
5. Import from a PC pst to 2011 works great. Thank god!
6. Lots of great collaboration features like communicator (inter-company chat system).
7. Security features are significantly better.
8. Ease of use is seamless.
9. Template library is fantastic. Lots of shells.

I think Office 2011 for Mac is a HUGE improvement over the past releases. I would say if you are a Mac user using office allot you def should make the purchase.

If you need help or have any questions on Outlook 2011 for Mac or any other IT questions. Feel free to aak. Thank you
