A snide remark. I can be terse too: EccoPro runs on Vista and
out-performs LookOut, even today.

This just came in on another list.

All true. 

However it is clunky bloatware that hackers and virus writers target
and exploit. It is not fast when overloaded with a large database of
contacts and saved E-Mails. It doesn't back up easy or intuitively.
Its integration can be a blessing or a curse.

Where it gains is marketshare and dumb down ease of use. A lot can get
done at the corporate level more efficiently with less hand holding
because of its notoriety and longevity and integration. 

I hope open office integrates a great PIM with security and an E-Mail
client ... then we might have a marketshare contender.
