I've been reading these posts, and after reading some of the requests
I've changed my mind a bit.

In the Windows environment, people seem to have the mindset that an
office suite should contain, among the spreadsheet, database, presenter,
and word processor, both an email and calendar. The problem here is that
having and integrated email and calendar module would possibly dilute
the resources, and there are also some excellent packages available for
both Windows, Linux, and Mac. 

I think that possibly OO.o should possibly package either Thunderbird
or Evolution or another client. By package, I don't mean in a single
download, but provide the capability to easily acquire one of these.  

The problem is not, as Fred mentions, Microsoft domination, it is
expectation. Linux users do not expect a fully integrated product, but
Windows users do, and that is the current reality.  I have more to say
on this, but no time, just a few thoughts.
