If you find Chad unbearably uncool, killfile him already. He had a very good point, perhaps best made by raving. It really doesn't matter to me whether I send a document by email or by post -- I'd like to be able to edit them in the same program, to look up the information about the recipient in the same place, and so on and so forth. This is a perfectly reasonable thing for people to want and MS does it better than anyone else. It's probably very wise of Sun not to spend resources on doing that right now -- and no one else, as we know, does any of the heavy lifting.
