For this article, I chose to take a slightly different approach than the standard "Linux distribution review". As I have written not just one, but two reviews of Fedora Core 2 for this site, I want to base my review of Fedora Core 3 on my experiences with its direct predecessor. Update: FC3 shots here.

I agree with the auther, It would be a good idea to replace Evolution as the default PIM in Gnome with Firebird, Thunderbird and Sunbird from Mozilla. Not that Evolution is a bad program, in fact I think it is very good, but it would be easier to migrate from Windows to Linux if they used cross platform programs. I think that it is this crossplatformness that have been a key factor in the success of OpenOffice. Why not do it for PIM programs as well.
Evolution is very similar to Outlook so most windows users would probably not have any problems, but bosses and admins gets worried as it isn't quite the same program. E.g. will palm synchronization work the same way. And when its time to upgrade the likeness might change,...
Another solution would of course be to port evolution to windows.
