You obviously haven't used Outlook this century.  Outlook 2007 is very
stable and non-buggy and my users are bugging me (no pun) to get it.
Everyone that has been upgraded from Office 2003 loves the new version
of Office.  Unlike previous versions of Office, it actually is worth
buying.

But, I agree that there are other free and very good open source
options available.  However, few, if any, are an integrated solution
as Outlook is; not even Gmail.  It's likely overkill for most home
users, but for people like my wife, she wants it at home because it's
what she uses at work and doesn't want to have to learn how to use
Thunderbird.

Interesting side-note:  Gmail regards 'Thunderbird' as a typo.  "Don't
be evil....yet."
