POST UPDATED 12/9/2009
Because many of you have asked to use your Macs with Microsoft Online Services, we’ve been developing a Mac Sign-In application to provide Mac users with the same “single-sign-in” functionality provided to our PC users.
After installing and signing-in to this application, you can send and receive Exchange Online e-mail and access SharePoint Online sites from your Mac without having to sign-in multiple times. This application will also configure Entourage to connect to your Exchange Online mailbox.
The Mac Sign-In application has been released and is now available on the Microsoft Download Center at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=a3f34420-bb96-47ce-9844-4eab1eb9026d.
Because the application is now released, the Mac Sign-In preview program is now closed. I will award prizes and send notices in January. Many thanks to all who participated. We identified and fixed several good bugs and we received great feedback about what other features you'd like the Sign In application to support.

My compliments, I have tested it today, and everything works fine.
Wishlist for Santa:
- Microsoft Messenger for Mac connected to OCS - BPOS ;-)
Thanks Erik. That's good to hear. I don't know if Santa will be able to deliver the Mac IM solution for you. Maybe the Easter Bunny! :-)

Any updates on using Mac Messenger 7 connected to BPOS? Would love to run ANY Mac-native app for this going forward with our company's deployment of BPOS...thanks!
Still no update on BPOS for Mac Messenger?
I've finished the chocolate the bunny brought me.
Another reason to go Google. You don't have to deal with this compatibility crap.
In order for Microsoft to stay competitive with others in the Cloud, they MUST allow for MAC integration!!!
1. Communicator for MAC
2. Live Meeting for MAC
3. Communicator for Mobile Smart phones
These services already exist from MS, but just aren't compatibly with BPOS. Until these are resolved, I'm sure many IT people may stay away, or consider leaving the BPOS family.
Is there an update or can MS state that MS Messenger 8 will connect to BPOS it has the capability the question is will it be enabled in BPOS? (current OCS 2007 r2)
