"Well" is the operative word. It all goes back to requirement. In our 
shop, for example. we've ditched Scalix because there doesn't appear to 
be any way to share tasks between Outlook users and the web interface 
users. That's a requirement for us and it doesn't look like Scalix can 
meet it (or so I'm told, I will admit to not being able to test this as 
I don't have a copy of Outlook anywhere in my life). For situations 
where that's not a requirement it won't be an issue. Of course if it was 
me, my requirement would be to ditch Outlook, but I don't drive this boat.

I spent about 4 hours one day attempting to install the Evo connector. 
It's one of those things that works for some people, not for others, and 
there's no solution for those that it doesn't work for. Kind of like 
some wifi cards under Linux :)

I'm always wary of things that work "well". The thing(s) that don't work 
might be a show stopper for me. Each requirement has to be mapped to a 
specific functionality. For a given site, when most of the requirements 
can be mapped to working functionality then an app can be deemed to 
"work well". Prior to that work being done that statement cannot be made 
outside of a marketing pamphlet.

Good to hear, I'll tell Mike.
