Microsoft recently shipped Office 2009 Business Edition (US $400 or $240 upgrade) to replace the previous standard edition and Special Media Edition. The new bundle includes both the standard Entourage 2008 and Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition (WSE), which Microsoft released last month by itself. Entourage WSE offer greater compatibility with Exchange Server as well as faster communications, but requires Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 Rollup 4 or later--it won't work with earlier versions of Exchange.

Brian Wesselhoff has a problem with booked meetings not being displayed in Entourage Web Services Edition:
We have an issue where we use the built-in conference room scheduling in Exchange 2007. We just started migrating some users over to the Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition. When a non-domain admin opens another users' calendar (in this case a room resource), some of the booked meetings are not displayed. However, we come to find that in the planner you can see that they are booked. If you login with this user on a PC and Outlook 2003 or 2007, you can see the meetings in the room resource calendar fine. I also have no issue seeing these missing appointments logged in as myself (a Domain Admin) with the new Entourage Web Services Edition. We are running at the latest service pack and patch level on Exchange 2007. Is this a bug, a permissions issue, or what? These meetings also show up correctly on an Entourage 2008 user that is not running the Web Services Edition.

Problem with Entourage WSE mail seen as plain text only
Wednesday, October 21, 2009
Marco Novelli in Italy reported a problem with the new Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition:
I recently updated my Entourage 2008 to WSE (Web Services Edition) and my Exchange 2007 Server to SP2. Now most of email that I write are sent as plain text. I've not been able to reproduce 100% the behavior: most of the time the issue appear when replying to email. Even If I select HTML from Format menu the mail is sent in plain text.
It seems to me to have done a fast rewind to begin of '90. I'm feeling the issue is located at Entourage level and not at Exchange level, because when I reply to an email I can see Entourage adding the quotation mark '>' in the reply body.

Marcus Jaensson solved the problem with Entourage Web Services Edition seeing Exchange mail as plain text:
We had this problem and it's a setting on the Exchange Server:
Set-remotedomain -> ContentType should be set to "MimeHtmlText" not to "MimeText".
Micrsoft has some information here. Scroll down to ContentType.
