[WBS Today] Snow Leopard Exchange Support – New from Apple

[WBS Today]

Still scared of taking your Mac to work? Apple announced on Monday the incorporation of Microsoft Exchange support in their latest OS iteration, Snow Leopard. This means, if you’d like, you can access your Exchange email right alongside your personal email in Apple’s Mail application. The same goes for your calendars and contacts. Not only do you get your content in the standard OS applications, your mail folders, contact groups, and events are there too. Any changes you make update your account on the Exchange server seamlessly.

How easy is this? Don’t bother calling your IT department to walk you through setting everything up, because once you type in your email and password in Mail, your Mac does everything else, seamlessly integrating all of your Exchange data with your Mac apps.

Are you using a PC and thinking about making the switch? Snow Leopard comes out in September and will be included on all new Macs. If you already have a Mac and want to upgrade, you’ll only have to throw down $29. Not bad considering Microsoft Exchange support isn’t included with Microsoft Windows.

Apple has more information about the new Exchange support in Snow Leopard as well as other information that might give you even more reason to take your Mac to work.
