Evolution installer for Win32 Released

markybob points out that an unofficial Win32 installer for Evolution has been released, writing "Of course it's GPL, so have fun and spread it around!" From the site: "Evolution is an incredibly versatile email/calendar/PIM that took the Linux world by storm a few years ago. It has been called an 'Outlook replacement' by every tech site from ZDNet to InfoWorld. Evolution played a major role in allowing the Linux desktop to move into the enterprise by giving being able to connect to Microsoft Exchange Server and schedule/accept Microsoft Outlook Meetings. Here's a screenshot of how it handles meeting invitations sent by Outlook."

  1. Yeah, but Mac users have iCal... by Dis*abstraction · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...which is 10,000x better than Google Calendar.

    That's an estimate, by the way:
              10x more functional
              10x more elegant
              10x easier on the eyes
              10x easier to use
              = 10,000.
    Suck it, Google. You're as bad as the rest of the Apple wannabes.

  2. Of course, being from GNOME heritage.... by bfe369 · · Score: -1, Troll

    I've got a great idea! Whip up an app that has great potential and stir it around several times in the "looks like ass" vat. Throw in a pinch of inheritance from the ugliest graphical environment ever created (GNOME). Ruthlessly eradicate all possible traces of user-friendliness (whoops, I already mentioned GNOME). Carefully craft a god-awful IMAP implementation that will bring tears to the eye.

    Tie all this up into a recipe with dependencies you'll never resolve in this lifetime unless your name is Miguel, and release it to the world!
