That is very true about Linux having email alternatives already installed. My main reason for Outlook is that it Sync's with my Phone. I too do not use Publisher, drives me insane. This is very true, certainly can't complain about the free OpenOffice :) As for Lotus comparison...nice idea but last time I looked they didn't have a trial to download, otherwise i'd be happy to! Merry Christmas & Happy New Year. Hey Mr.Si, thanks for the comment. That is very true about Linux having email alternatives already installed.

I think originally it was developed for those who run Linux as an Operating System as opposed to a Micro$oft product. Linux already has an outlook answer on it, called Kmail which is an awesome product, it even tells you if you've not attached a file when you mention having done so in the main body of the email. I've never had to use publisher, so that's not a problem for me. I think for a completely free bit of software, one cannot complain that it doesn't FULLY compare to M$ Office. Also, how about Lotus Smart Suite for a further comparison? Just my thoughts :) Nice one for doing a piece on Openoffice.org With regard to openoffice not having an answer to outlook…
