Hi!
OOO isn't compatible also with ms project. There are incubator projects
(calendar/e-mail and project manageent) under OOO umbrella, but they are
vary silent for a while.
You can try Evolution as outlook alternative. It is just ported to
windows in testing stage. But, if it's more or less ok as calendar
application, it lacks many functions as e-mail client, so thunderbird is
much more functional. But calendar you can get with thunderbird is far
from ideal (In spite this I use it for about 3 years). In place of ms
project, if you need to draw simple gantt charts, you can try
ganttproject from sourceforge.net.

I have looked at the Open Office website and am really impressed.
1. Does the Open Office suite also incorporate the equivalent of
Microsoft Outlook (that is our common email program)
2. Is the Open Office suite also compatible with Microsoft Project?
3. Is the Open Office suite also compatible with Microsoft Visio?

No it doesn't come with an equivalent of Outlook, I think mostly
because the OOo developers believe, with good reason, that an email
program isn't an office applicaiton, and they should be separate, and
there are already plenty of good Free Software email programs. I'd
recommend Mozilla Thunderbird. Yes OOo can open and save to the
Microsoft Office file formats. I'm pretty sure it's not compatible
with Microsoft Visio files, though I might be wrong.

It's not compatible with Visio, but OOo Draw can do a lot of what
Visio can. Visio is only a recent (maybe 5 years) aquisition of
Microsoft. Before it was an independent product.
