Title: Re: [Fed-Talk] Leave it to the tards at Microsoft
The current version of entourage (11.2.3) can sync with address book, through isync. And entourage will sync to outlook.
Good Luck,

Well... I got duped into buying a $600 Windows Smartphone.... Windows Mobile 5. Doesn't sync to Mac...
Got duped into buying an Outlook Live Account (nothing more than Hotmail, don't waste your money).... found out it doesn't sync contacts to a Pocket PC.
Then, to make matters worse, the genious mongo heads at Microsoft decide to wipe out all of my contacts to replace it with the ones from hotmail, and low and behold, I lost years worth of contact information. Of course their 800# full of the even more retarded techs couldn't offer any assistance.
After a few paragraphs of telling the person on the other end what I thought of them and their company and telling them to give my money back, I'm now faced with no contacts.
Well, of course, the trusty Mac side of my Intel iMac still has my contacts... easy enough. I export all of the VCFs from address book... try to load into outlook... guess what, outlook 2003 is as f'in retarded as the people at Microsoft and can't read the file.
I boot back in to OS X.... maybe i can export from address book to entourage and do that... of course, address book exports fine, and even entourage (believe it or not) does it's job and imports.
So, I export the VCFs from entourage... reboot into Shitdows, try to import into Outlook 2003, and wow, what a surprise, AGAIN it cannot read the VCF files, even though the crappy exporter was another quality piece of software.... so again, I reboot into OS X, and this time go to entourage and export the contacts as a tab delimited file... surely a tab file would be standard between two crappy products (entourage and outlook 2003)...i mean after all, they are made by the same company that made it possible to write 114,000 viruses...
Back to windows i boot again... load outlook, try to import the tab delimited contact file and guess what??? AGAIN, Outlook 2003 cannot read it...
does anyone here have any ideas how I can get my contacts from address book (an application that does work) over to a lesser, piece of crap outlook address book?
The missing sync for OS X does not work with Windows Mobile 5... I think I am stuck with this phone, and it's useless without contact management.
thanks,
mike
