Warning re: Contact Syncing. - explorz12

I had the same thing happen to my calendar!! I clearly saidto replace sync items with my entourage items. I synced to iCal and didn't like the way it imported data to iCal. I deleted all items from iCal and next thing I knew my Entourage calendar was completely wiped clean.

Microsoft really missed the boat with this half-baked update

Actually, the problem isn't Microsoft this time, it's Apple's Sync Services.

The Apple Sync Services don't understand "categories", they just sync the raw info. Also understand that the idea with Sync Services is that if you make a change to, say a contact in Addressbook, that change will appear after a sync in everything else connected to Sync Services, including the new version of Entourage. So if you delete things in Addressbook, they will disappear in Entourage as well. This is not Microsoft's fault, it is the way Apple designed it to work...
