Mozilla and Google — Exchange Killers At Last?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-happy-together dept.

phase_9 writes "The latest version of Mozilla Thunderbird may still only be in beta but already the user community have started creating an extensive set of viable Exchange killers. One such example is the latest mashup between Thunderbird and Google Calendars, providing bi-directional syncing of calendar information from both the client and internet. How long will it be before open-source software can provide a complete, accessible office suite for a fraction of the cost that Microsoft current imposes?"

    And of course, Lotus Notes is what software would be like if it was written by Satan.

    I hope you are kidding. Because everything else made by Satan for the temptation of Man, (sex, drugs, gambling, and money) has the effect of creating euphoria for its users and profit to its distributors. I doubt Notes come even close to lets say gambling, never mind sex and drugs.

    Evolution replaces Outlook, not Exchange.

    Only if it is intelligently designed.
