Ah, you are confusing a cross platform application with internet browser
support.  Cross platform should not imply cross browser.  The app I do cross
platform development with only runs on Windows and OS X, and WHEN it
requires browser support, which is not most of the time, it only supports IE
and Safari, respectively.

Calendar, Notes, text formatting ease of use, integration with other
applications, attachments getting to their destination - little things like
that.

Quoting style is customizable in Outlook.  For instance, I have it turned
off, and I had to add all the greater than signs manually.  I find Outlook
just fine for personal use.
