The point is that many people will not switch from MS Office unless all the 
features in it 
are in one program. Many people on this list are unwilling to acknowledge this 
point. 
Personally, I've never used MS Office or Outlook. I have a old copy of Word but 
seldom 
use it. However I would appreciate much better integration of word processing, 
email 
and PIM. It would be a time saver for me but I will not go to M$ Office to get 
it.

I am not a programmer. I will give positive and negative response to user lists 
for the 
products I use. Why do people respond to user comments with questions like 
this? 
Thunderbird and especially Calender were not usable for me. I went back to an 
email 
program that worked well for me and found a much better calender. I am not 
going to 
waste my time trying to make a product work when there are better solutions 
available.
