“Finally, there’s an area that Ubuntu is very
weak on and it’s where efforts need to be concentrated next –
The Enterprise Desktop. Novell have previously tried to leverage
that market but did it all wrong. They didn’t understand that
there is just one killer feature (just as with integrated desktop
social networking) that needs to be in there which is Exchange
support. Outlook and to a lesser extent Office keeps Windows XP / 7
firmly planted on the Enterprise desktop purely because of its
ability to work perfectly with Exchange. Businesses now (rightly or
wrongly) revolve around shared mail, contacts, calendaring and
scheduling, and Exchange shows no signs of being supplanted yet as
the default choice for this functionaility.

“With all this in mind I present my recommendation for Ubuntu:
Fork Evolution.”
