Re: Entourage & Exchange

It's great that Home and Student doesn't sup****t Exchange, but why can't I
upgrade just Entourage? I made the same mistake as some and bought the
only version Best Buy had (H&S) before reading the blogs, box or other
information. Excuse me for being an idiot and assuming it would work like
2004. But why can I not pay an additional fee to get the functionality I
lost? I can buy just Excel or PowerPoint, why not Entourage?
