It is about managing perceptions not realities. People want Outlook, not Thunderbird. THAT's the reality that you have to deal with. I used to use Eudora until a few months ago; try convincing people to use THAT! I like email programs that just email and no other rubbish. I like mobile phones that make and send phone messages and don't have calendars, movie cameras, GPS etc etc etc. But try and find one!

I've used outlook and thunderbird, and would never want to use outlook, which would appear to disprove your argument. I agree though, that trying to convince users to switch from what they are used to is usually a losing battle.
