>I notice some people are talking about Thunderbird and other alternatives to Outlook. I should probably remind some people that Outlook is not just a mail client.

The problem is that this integration is very important for a lot of people in the corporate world, and an ad hoc >bundling of various applications to do the same stuff but not quite as well integrated might not sit well with some people, particularly if you can't give the same level of functionality. >Outlook is what it is not just for the email side of things. This is precisely why outlook is the only MS application I have installed on my work machines. Apart from development environments, VS 2003,2005,2008 & 2010 and what comes bundled with windows stupid .... I mean windows 7. Most of which I don't use anyway. With the entire company using an MS exchange server and sharing calendars and contacts I'm forced to use outlook. Let's face it, not everything microsoft do is bad. Just most things. The problems with Microsoft come when you have bulk licencing agreements and are forced to install their products to comply with their licences. Then management says "We're paying for the licence, we may as well use it." This makes change very difficult.
