feature_spotlight.gifNope, this isn't about that Entourage.  Mac users in mega (and not so mega) corporations have had to use either Entourage 2004 or other third party scripts to get their email and scheduling on their Macs.  While Microsoft has stopped support for Windows Media Player on the Mac, they have released and update that finally supports Spotlight searching.  Prior to this patch, you had to disable Spotlight for your Microsoft Data folder, otherwise your Mac would burn out its hard drive searching that folder.  Needless to say, this is a good thing.

I've downloaded and loaded this patch on to my PowerBook G4, and not only is Spotlight now available, but Entourage's internal searches are faster too.  Spotlight searching is sweet, since it allows me to quickly search the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of saved emails i've collected over the years.  Surf to www.microsoft.com/mac to get the update.  Now.
