Mozilla's Lightning to strike Outlook? | CNET News.com: "The Mozilla Foundation is hatching yet another software project to challenge a key Microsoft title.
The new project, code-named Lightning, aims to integrate Mozilla's calendar application, Sunbird, with its recently released Thunderbird e-mail application. That integration is aimed right at the heart of Microsoft's widely used Outlook software.
'I think Outlook leaves a lot of room for a fast competitor,' said a Mozilla volunteer involved in the project, who asked not to be named. 'There's a lot of user dissatisfaction out there, and it will be interesting to see what the market looks like once there's a strong open-source alternative.'"
I suspect Thunderbird's RSS client support is a bigger short-term threat.
