I've been using Evolution 1.03 built from sources using Gentoo and I have been extremely happy with it.
Evolution will even underline your spelling errors which my Outlook98 would not do.
I imported six years worth of email which was an 800MB Outlook PST file and have some folders with over 6,000 messages.
The filter functions are very powerful and I'm able to filter out spam very easily.
There still is the odd bug that I encounter but none have been show stoppers that prevent its use. I'm sure those will be fixed soon.
Evolution was the program that allowed me to use Linux as my primary computer. I only boot Windows to run my tax program and accounting programs now.
I might try Plex86 to see if I can run my Windows legacy applications within Linux.
Goodbye Outlook./g
Gates is a smart man and he knows that GPL is a threat to Microsoft's business model.
With GPL, code becomes more like math and science. For example, do I have to pay a license fee to use calculus or the Pythagorean theorem. No, and the inner workings of these are open to those who want to see it.
So with GPL the business model of software simply changes to a more service oriented one and this is not really what Microsoft is tuned for right now.

How would they know if the hardware isn't even available to anyone except Microsoft. Do Debian developers have the x86-64 hardware yet?
I can hardly wait for the Redhat i386 RPMs for Hammer so I can really enjoy its performance.
