Is there a linux version of Lotus Notes compatible wih the MS-windows version? Well, it's more Outlook-ish, but Ximian Evolution is very full-featured and nice. Contacts, calendar, etc.
BTW--OpenOffice and StarOffice pretty much have caught up to MS Office. I use OpenOffice at work, which is exclusively MS Office. No one knows the difference, and I've been able to open, read, and edit Word and Excel files (even with macros).
Show me how to use StarOffice to create a template with a header that includes two stripes running vertically down the page at the left margin and a text box with my name and address printed at a 90 degree angle to the left of that margin (legal pleading paper) and then when the user creates a document using the template automatically open a user form filling in all of the bookmarks in the document based on the users reponse to questions in the userform and I will be convinced that StarOffice is as good as MSWord.
