Hi, So are there public ways for inquiring minds to learn what goes on in this design team?
I disagree on this completely. Whether evolution does or doesn't do this is irrelevent to the statement, at a base level, complete application integration is only achieved when both occur.Since I don't know what the design team is planning, I would like to throw another idea out there. You can't optimally integrate components into an application suite and the desktop at the same time. You must pick one - it is a design choice. I hope, in the future, we choose to integrate optimally with the desktop.
Sure.In the end, the desktop is the product.
Well it looks like you just haven't read the statements which say we've already done that.One reason I have read, so far, for keeping the suite bundled is that there are many interdependencies between components. The mail component needs to interface with the address book and calendar. Well, so does the rest of the desktop. And so do alternate mail readers.
Oh well, like most flame wars, everyone's been burning their own tonsils for nought.
