I agree entirely. The whole strength of Open Source is in not having to re-invent wheels tied up in "IPR". I use Evolution and Outlook and Evolution is a very easy transition from Outlook. Once it runs on Windows reliably making further modifications to better integrate with OOo is not that big a job. http://www.cbronline.com/article_news.asp?guid=B4D4F4EC-8C1D-421D-8E49-67D012016CF4 Given the relationship between Sun and Novell with OOo it would be very surprising if there were not some plans to use Evolution with OOo on Windows Linux and Solaris with OOo and SO. I guess licensing might be an issue with SO. -- Ian Lynch www.theINGOTs.org www.opendocumentfellowship.org www.schoolforge.org.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
