Linux 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.

*1 - Outlook 2003 is not supported.

You were saying?


Outlook 97,2000 and XP are supported at this time. 2003 will be supported in the upcoming 6.0 release. Outlook 2003 installs and runs in the latest alpha build of Crossover!

Do you want me to send you a screen-shot?

At that point, I'll be more interested in Outlook 2007.
