Spreadthunderbird is Go
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the reasons that Firefox has been successful is the extraordinary way
| that users have been mobilised as part of a vast, global marketing group
| without precedent.
|
| Tens of thousands – perhaps even hundreds of thousands – of people have added
| their pebble to the cairn of promotion to produce the market shares we see
| today for Firefox (particularly in Europe).
|
| The main vehicle for creating and sustaining this distributed marketing team
| is Spreadfirefox, which effectively applied the open source software
| development methodology to the sphere of promotion. That is, it has made
| ordinary Firefox users feel engaged in the propagation of the software, just
| as they can become engaged in its development through bug reports.

Mozilla Messaging releases new Thunderbird 3 alpha
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Messaging has launched the third alpha release of Thunderbird 3.0, a
| major update of the open source e-mail client. The current prerelease series,
| which is codenamed Shredder, is highly experimental and not intended for

| handful of significant new features, including some of the first usability
| enhancements that are part of a major user interface overhaul.

Connected: Microsoft Outlook 2007 is no prize, either
,----[ Quote ]
| Outlook 2007 is one of the weaker applications in Office 2007. At times I get
| so frustrated with its slow response and idiosyncrasies that I'm tempted to
| uninstall it and go back to Outlook 2003. Readers also have frustrations.

Connected: Microsoft Office 2003 better than Office 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| A review of Office 2007 could be considered doomed from the start. Its
| predecessor, Office 2003, is one of the best products Microsoft ever created;
| so the bar is raised high. After a year of using the newer product, I still
| see some features that are better than the older version; but on the whole,
| I'd rather be using Office 2003.

Thunderbird 3 email client makes alpha progress
,----[ Quote ]
| Mozilla Messaging, the Mozilla subsidiary that took over responsiblity for
| Mozilla's Thunderbird email client in February, is making progress with the
| development of third version of the Thunderbird email client. It has now made
| an Alpha 2 release of Thunderbird 3, code-named "Shredder", available. This
| is not a release suitable for production, as the codename broadly hints; it
| is intended for testers to exercise new features and stability in the email
| client.

Open Office vs. MS Office - the Other Key to Windows/Linux Transition
,----[ Quote ]
| So, if your excuse for not giving Linux a try was that you needed to be able
| to work with your Office documents... well, you just ran out of excuses.
| Think of what you will gain, too! No more suffering through all the
| gratuitous menu/toolbar/button changes that Microsoft makes in every new
| Office release. No more suffering through incompatible file formats between
| releases, which Microsoft seems to do every two or three releases - this is
| the second time it has happened that I can recall, and I assume that the
| recent OOXML debacle means that there is another change coming in the next
| Office release. Best of all, no more having to pay to upgrade to the new
| version every time Microsoft sees fit.

Catch a Glimpse of Mozilla's E-Mail Future in Thunderbird 3 Alpha 1
,----[ Quote ]
| It's alive! Mozilla has released the first alpha version of its upcoming
| Thunderbird 3.0, the company's next-generation e-mail application. We don't
| suggest you rush out and download it unless you're a true early adopter; this
| release isn't stable and lacks many of the features planned for Thunderbird
| 3's final release.

Mozilla shoots for quick Thunderbird 3.0 alpha
,----[ Quote ]
| "I believe that it's really worthwhile to get a release underway. Testers
| have only had nightlies for quite a while now, and the trunk is already

| continued. "Getting something that we're willing to recommend to a wider
| group of people is a great way to demonstrate real progress."
