Microsoft has announced two products designed to provide users of Office 2008 for Mac with improved access to existing server-based Microsoft services. The first of the two, Microsoft Entourage for Exchange Web Services, will be a free upgrade to Entourage 2008 for Mac that will enable that email, contacts, and calendaring client to more fully benefit from the Exchange Web Services built into Exchange Server 2007. The second, Microsoft Document Collaboration Companion for Mac, will be a free Cocoa-based companion app to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac that's designed to improve document-management control for Mac users of Microsoft's SharePoint Server document-sharing technology. The app will work whether document sharing is provided by enterprise SharePoint Servers, third-party leased or subscription-based SharePoint services, or Microsoft's free (for now, at least) consumer and small-business oriented Office Live Workspace.

Same here. It often bugs me because in my brain I think PC=Personal Computer, whereas everyone else thinks it means solely Windows, and I often have to clarify myself or just grin and bear it for the sake of not getting into a one-sided nerdy conversation that nobody else understands. 
What can you do, though? I'm an English buff, so misused words bother me more than the average human being, but you can't expect everyone in the world to know everything we (meaning the more tech-savvy population) do about computers. Then we'd all be out of a job.

Good to see MS doing this kind of thing. Maybe this should have been done a while back, but still good to see... I like that it was coded in Cocoa too...
Also, yes, Mac's are PC's, and Linux runs on a PC (PC = Personal Computer), but like a lot of words/phrases in the English language, the original use and the use now can change. Sadly, if I say PC to most people, they don't think Linux or Mac. I need to say Linux Box/PC or Mac...
No biggy, I can live with that...
