Evolution 1.0 Released

jdavidb writes: "I pulled up the Ximian redcarpet updater this morning and discovered that Evolution 1.0 is finally available! Now Outlook can start facing some serious competition, although there's still a long way to go. (Evolution does not yet emulate all the Outlook viruses, of course, nor does it integrate with Exchange Server.)" Here's Ximian's full announcement. Update: 12/03 14:59 GMT by T : Nat Friedman of Ximian points out that they're offering a software extension which does allow integration with Exchange 2000. There's good story on the new iteration of Evolution at NewsForge, too.

Ximian Connector

This sounds like the true Exchange solution many of us are looking for - It is proprietary and closed though.

Before the flamage on Ximian begins, let me just say, that the businesses that this product is for have already invested in closed source software, so I think its a great idea to finance Evolution this way.

Great job guys, keep it up!

Windows port?

I'd love to try Evolution, but my computer isn't powerful enough to run Linux and GNOME.

Some of us don't have 1GHz/256MB computers.

Filter suggestion!

When will there be a filter on slashdot to weed out all news from the trying-to-make-linux-look-like-windows dept.? For me, and for a lot of the people I study and work with, OutLook was never a serious alternative to the MUAs we use (such as Pine, VM, Gnus etc). What is the "news for nerds" in a OutLook-a-like MUA?. It's not stuff that matters :(
