I apologize for being a bit off topic here... But, I'm trying to setup a new PC for my father's business.
Even though I use 100% linux desktops on all of my own PCs I decided to install WindowsXP on his machine. He has one of those "all-in-one" printer, scanner, fax units and also uses a software/voice-modem combination as an answering machine, neither of which are workable under linux.
That being said, I want to use StarOffice instead of OfficeXP. No problem, it installs and works great!
But here is the question; for other people who have done this, what do you use as a replacement for Outlook's Calendar/Scheduler functions?
I can use any one of Outlook Express, Mozilla Mail, Eudora for email but none of them have a Calendar (am I missing something?).
I thought of just buying Outlook2003 but it's $110.00US (according to the MS web site) !!! OfficeXP Standard edition (which includes Outlook) is $530.00! (at Staples)
Its really too bad there isn't a version of Evolution for Windows because it would be perfect.
I'm not interested in over-kill either (Act, Lotus Notes etc). Just a Calendar. If it also works as an email solution that's fine but I don't need it to wash dishes and vacuum the carpet.
It does NOT have to be free software. I'm willing to pay for the right solution.
Suggestions anyone?
