For values of "sup****t" that include "woefully inadequately". We have
meeting rooms that have addresses that respond to scheduling, but in our
company, that's not enough: we also have an "all meeting rooms" group that
you can add when creating an appointment, which will expand to show all
meeting rooms, because half the scheduling battle is finding a meeting
room that's open when you want it.
At least, you can do that in Outlook. Entourage just uses that group
address as if it were a single resource: can't expand it to its
constituent members, so I can't see individual room schedules.
The situation is pretty simple: when Office:Mac 2008 is still feature
deficient compared to Office:2003 for Windows, there's cause for
complaint. That Entourage 2008 can't do everything with an Exchange server
that Outlook can is sort of annoying. Well, not sort of: really very
annoying.
