Bump Dot Net For the People

ximian’s evolution pim looks exactly like Outlook? I’m sort of surprised by this. Not from the perspective that Outlook isn’t software worth cloning, I use it every day and I think it’s fine. Also, not from the perspective that cloning is unusual, cloning is a fact of life in the software business. I’m surprised that Open Source programmers at Ximian don’t have some radical new way of doing this sort of app. I want innovation, not status quo. I should say that I have not used this app and I am basing my opinion on the screen shots. There could be plumbing there that I am unaware of. This, I assure you, will not be the value add that gets people to migrate from Windows to Linux. In fact, it sort of plays into MSFT’s hands.
