"Microsoft announced Thursday that the next edition of Microsoft Office for Mac will be released in late 2010. The new edition of the venerable office suite will include Outlook for Mac, a new application that will replace Entourage." Whilst the new Outlook:Mac will not offer feature parity with the Window version, it will be written in Cocoa and feature tighter integration with OS X including Spotlight. My Take: So it only took Apple integrating Exchange support into OS X for Microsoft to finally 'fix' the abomination that is Entourage.

Nah, they'd never get away with that. Microsoft producing any kind of Linux software would be rather hilarious in its own right, but they'd never get away with cheap security bypasses like they can do with their own os. Outlook for Linux... shudder, indeed if that ever happens and that abomination comes to Linux.

I was making one of those jokes that's supposed to be followed by an awkward, uneasy laugh. Of course, Microsoft making Outlook for Linux would be followed by a hearty belly-laugh in the IT community (I hope). Right up until they try to get this ballot nonsense into Linux distros, that is.
EDIT: Also, just realised (many people have probably though of this before me, though), magic 8 balls really are clever. "Outlook not so good" is the smartest thing they could say

I bet if there were an outlook for Linux, MS would add launchers that begin with "gksu" when it gets installed... For those not using Linux, gksu lets you run a program with root powers after you put in your password.
