It's probably fair to say that the ratio of time our Connector developers spend in the debugger versus the Emacs buffer is higher than with most software.

There are a lot of people who've been able to ditch their Windows machines and switch over to Linux because they can now use their Exchange server for calendaring and collaboration from their Linux desktop.

The whole youth-idolatry oh-god-not-another-birthday thing has to be the most sure-fire way to be unhappy about the way things are progressing in your life.

We plan to support Exchange 2003 as soon as it is released. We already have the prerelease versions from MSDN.

OS X is sweet: it's simple and intuitive, and I think GNOME shares a lot of values with it.

A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.

Red Carpet Enterprise has been really well received since one guy can install it in about an hour, and it makes it trivial to deal with software management issues like deploying updates and creating standard package sets for your various machines.

As Mono matures, people will begin to use it to write desktop components that take advantage of all the hard work thats gone into some of the meatier GNOME libraries, as well as the nifty language features of C#.

Red Carpet has a nice package abstraction layer that allows us to support RPMs and DEBs transparently.

Big Linux deployments have reached the point where it's become a real problem for administrators that they don't have nice tools to manage their servers and desktops.

This is what people need: an easy-to-deploy, easy-to-use tool.

We're not going to make Evolution or any of our other products depend on Mono anytime in the near future.

I have a G4 at home. Theyre great machines for individual users, and I even know a few core Linux hackers who are having a lot of fun with them. But if you want to move the needle on the non-Microsoft desktop, youve got to look elsewhere.
