Aethera 1.0
gatch writes "theKompany.com released version 1.0 of their cross-platform PIM suite Aethera. KOrganizer is included as a calendar and todo list component. Check out these screenshots. According to Shawn Gordon, theKompany president, 'Actually we are about 2 weeks away from having Aethera work with Kolab [groupware server] - at least that is our sense of it at the moment.' Interesting discussion at KDE.news."
could it be?

Yoshi-girl is genetically engineered to be in constant sexual heat and is guaranteed to pounce on even the smelliest nerd with little coaxing! Spending a few hours with Yoshi-girl is sure to be the most gratifying experience you've had in years. Don't believe us? Just look at these testimonials from previous customers:
Hunched over in that uncomfortable chair writing Linux kernel code all day was really tense. Human girls wouldn't come near me, but Yoshi-girl treated me like I was the last man on Earth. Two thumbs up!

Sure she's not human, but it sure beats all the sleazy Mexican whores I've been with, and believe me, I've been with more than you can count. You go Yoshi!

The KDE Desktop Environment is sponsored by the canopy group, which is in turn sponsored by the Klu klux klan. Why do you thinK that there is Kthis, kthat, khere, kthere, keverywhere.
Support quality software, use Gnome!
2. You can open ANY Office document, no matter when it was made, or what version of the software it was made with, now. The only incompatibility is with Access. That's it.
3. Which brings me to this: what are you talking about "breaking backward compatibility"? I am still using a DOS app (written in COBOL about fifteen years ago) every day at work on my Windows XP desktop. I have never seen Microsoft breaking anything on a large scale. When Windows 95 came out something like 95% of the apps still worked, and the rest 5% that did not were using undocumented API calls. As a matter of fact, I can install a copy of Word 6 on Windows XP and it will work, even though it's a 16-bit app written for Windows 3.11.
What really bothers me about Open Source "advocates" such as yourself is that by making ignorant comments about things you obviously know very little about you make the Open Source movement seem a bunch of amateurs spreading FUD about their vision of the world. At least, if you want to bad-mouth Microsoft products go to the trouble of testing your wild claims because, frankly, you come out as an ignoramus when you make statements such as the above.
Mother is the best bet and don't let Satan draw you too fast.
Shut up, Micro$oft shill.
Microsoft Outlook is the BEST mailer there is in a corporate environment. You might think that Mozilla mail or whatever is the Linux equivalent-of-the-day to Outlook is as good, but it is not.
...your choice, which is inferior, that is.
Having worked with Micro$oft Outhouse for 10 years, I can safely say that it is ugly, bloated, stupid, overpriced, and wholly unnecessary. Mozilla with an LDAP server runs rings about Micro$oft's closed-source ass.
People are not stupid, they use Outlook because it does what it says on the box.
Oh really? Outlook looks out? Onto what does it look out? A lake?
Hey Micro$oft! Onto which lake does Outlook?
You might have a bone to pick with Exchange but, frankly, the last versions are much more stable and integrate PERFECTLY with Active Directory.
There's a big surprise. A Micro$oft technology works only with other Micro$oft technologies. What happened to open source technologies like LDAP? Oh, sorry, you can use non-Micro$oft clients with those, so they don't count. Nice try, shill.
Outlook has been the main application that is receiving enhancements in the past two versions of Office (2k and XP), and it shows.
Bug fixes and patches are not "enhancements." I don't recall ever having to install "CRITICAL SECURITY UPDATES" for Mozilla because of some worm going around.
Having beta-tested the new Outlook 2k3 I am certain Outlook will remain the mailer of choice..

Access sucks. And no, you can't. One of my idiot co-workers made a document in Micro$oft Word 97. When I tried to load it on a liberated version of Micro$oft Word 2002, Micro$oft Word crashed. Guess you don't get what you pay for.

Blah, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. On my Linux boxen I can take ANY application written for ANY POSIX-compliant operating system and recompile it. I'm not even restricted to one architecture, like Micro$oft Word is. Honestly, LaTeX has been superior to that piece of closed-source crapware for 15 years.
DOS and COBOL? Please.
I'm not Seth Finkelstein. I still speak the truth.
So what your saying is, this interface bears too much resemblance with an interface designed by User Interface Professionals with near limitless funds to spend on research. Why don't they just make up something new based on the potentially faulty domain knowladge of the programers instead?
I just want to be clear on what you are asking...
Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
TheKompany.com is slashdotted 24 hours a day. I swear it's running on a 386. How about a torrent for the whole site?
