So the only thing I can find that OpenOffice is lacking is an app like

Ok that is easy, no we are not working on it.
Ok, so I know I'll get a few slaps for this, but I actually REALLY like
MS
Outlook, more than any other contact/calendar/email management system
Well you can always hire a developer to enhace Thunderbird which already
gives you the email client he can work in a binding with Sunbird and you
will get the PIM you need. Alternatively you can use other PIM
applications such as Horde (web-based), help the evolution port into
Windows or use, but really your best bet is to migrate to Linux. We have
tons of PIMs in Linux starting with Evolution, Kontact, KDE-PIM,
Gnome-Cal, Gnome-address book, etc.
I've
ever used. I am currently using OpenOffice to replace all other MS Office
applications, but I miss the integration Outlook has with MS Office
products
that it stoutly refuses to do with Open Office.
So to me, this is the only MAJOR drawback to OpenOffice, is it's lack of
an
Outlook style app. Has anyone heard if this is in the works or not, or is
anyone working on this?
Thats because Outlook is NOT a productivity suite as in it doesnt produce
documents. Outlook is an information management such as the one found in
Netscape/SeaMonkey.
