Well, fwiw, our company moved from MS Exchange to Google Apps recently, and people perceived Gmail as sluggish in comparison to Outlook. I'm sure there are other factors besides the overall performance of the site, but it illustrates that _responsiveness_ of the system is very important. And it feels more responsive if you don't reload the page in some cases. -- Branko Vukelić [email protected] [email protected] Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
