More On Kapor's Attempt To Best Outlook

Posted by timothy on from the time-is-ripe dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's a story on the Boston Globe's Digital MASS section about Mitch Kapor , the guy who created Lotus 1-2-3. He will reportedly spend about $5 mil to create something competing with MS Outlook. More of the story here." We mentioned this a few months ago as well, and it sounds like any software release is still some time off.

    What... other than cost, stability, performance, and flexability?

    No, gawd, no. Microsoft Outlook (ad Outlook Express) maybe the single biggest security hole in the whole of the history of computing. Whoever provides a free alternate with no possible buffer overflow exploits, no damnable script kiddie hooks, and defaults set to allow the Average Joe to plug and play safely will have done all of humanity a favor.
