Email was the #1 item, but I think it comes down to the whole suite
of office-esque apps. What I mean is that if you buy MS Office you
essentially get Outlook for free.
In order for Linux desktops to be adopted in enterprises we need one
set of software that provides all of the above in a bundled fashion.
Kind of a bastard-child of OO.org/Mozilla etc containing office/
browser/email in one fell swoop. At that point the server software
(Exchange or other) becomes a non-issue as long as the mail suite and
calendaring can communicate.
BTW-I can send the survey write-ins to whoever needs them but we
don't want it to go public.
Thanks,

The trick then becomes to create demand for that server-end app by

Do we need to do that for the Linux desktop to succeed?
