No! Resist those temptations The Devil(TM) puts in your way. Why would |
| 8 |
you consider running Yet Another Windows vm when you could just as easily |
| 9 |
run an ~x86 gentoo vm instead, and answer your own questions about the |
| 10 |
latest versions of evolution? |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
My only interest here is whether I can advise the (very few) people I |
| 13 |
know who depend on MS Exchange to switch to linux/gnome/evolution as a |
| 14 |
reasonable alternative. (I'm happy to say that I'm not one of those |
| 15 |
people, but it's only my good luck that I'm not.) |

How do you happen to know what recent versions of evolution have to offer |
| 18 |
if you are not actually using them? |

Come on now, you already know vbox very well, so how much time would it |
| 21 |
cost you to do a binary vbox install of gentoo ~x86 to test evolution for |
| 22 |
yourself, eh? |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I'd really like to know the answer to your question about evolution, but |
| 25 |
I have no way of testing it myself -- or I would be testing it right now. |
