[brlug-general] Is OpenOffice just "good enough"?

Don't forget the fact that Outlook stores all emails(and other junk) in a
single small file. Apparently, this is the most safe and secure way to store
your email.

Outlook Express just manages email.  With full Outlook, you get contacts 
and calendaring (and other junk), which is more fitting in an office 
suite..  Add the collaboration that you mention, and boom that's what 
users want.
