Toby Richards wrote an opinion article for NewsForge, claiming that for him, Linux won't get mainstream until Evolution - or another capable Outlook-like client - gets optimized and offers 100% compatibility with Exchange. In the comments section of Newsforge readers offered more reasons as to why Linux is not mainstream, offering a view on their needs. My take: While for my personal, home usage of Linux my needs are different, I agree with Toby that companies won't switch their desktops if full Exchange compatibility isn't reached and if Evolution stops being the memory beast it currently is.

That's true for companies that currently use Exchange, but what about companies that are using Lotus Domino? There's still quite a few of them. My own company moved from Exchange to Notes/Domino a few years ago, and even though Notes' interface can be a bit daunting at times, it's actually a robust (and extensible) groupware platform.
