You know, one thing that drove me from StarOffice was this ... idea of
them to give you one big app for everything. I'm glad that MS never
did that - you *can* install everything (even with a kind of unified
UI), but you don't have to.

For a long time now I see people asking to "have it all under one
structure" (not just in computing). I am deeply convinced that it is
better to have specialised products. Why should RITLabs cater two
different UIs - and that's what it will come down to eventually.

We had this about a year ago, e-mail and news are quite different.
Yes, every newsreader can be used as an e-mail client since it
essentially a sub-routine of news reading. But *not the other way
round*.

The motorcycle market is not that diversified because marketing wants
it but because it is not possible to build a cruiser with racing
capabilities.

You can't have your cake and eat it - unless you use a computer. But
that is not necessarily right.
