I'll rewrite that.

a) There is a FLOSS equivalent to Outlook --- with all of the
functions of outlook --- that is no longer being developed, because
people were not using it;

b) That OOo + several other currently existing tools can be deployed
_today_ that will give you more power and functionality than MSoffice
with Outlook currently has;

c) People that claim they will switch if a FLOSS equivalent exists are
saying that to be polite.  They are not sincere, because the
equivalent currently exists;  [ Other than the virri, and security
problems.  Both of those can be arranged, for those who really want
them.]

> So is a priority to distinguish the need vs the attachment to a tool.

I am saying that people/companies are attached to the tool.  The
presence or absence of the specific tool is what moves them.  IOW, 
they want an exact clone, with all of the malfunctions of the
original.

>or is it the integration they get with Exchange

A FLOSS equivalent to Exchange currently exists;

SQLite could be Incorporated into OOo.  A new UI would be needed.
