greengrass writes "In a recent interview with IT Wire, general manager of business strategy for the Information Worker Group at Microsoft, Alan Yates expressed the opinion that Open Office is at the same level that MS office was around 10 years ago. Supposedly only suitable for the single desktop, isolated user. After all, it doesn't even have an e-mail client!"

    The OSS community STILL doesn't really have anything like Outlook that combines email with PIM data and talks to handheld/smart devices effectively and reliably. Evolution kinda does, but it seems like no one's gone to the effort of making the thing speak to Windows Mobile devices.
