Outlook is pretty much forced on people. I don't think I know a single person that uses Outlook in a home environment. A lot of folks are now using web based email provided and sometimes required by their ISP. Getting people to switch from Outlook to anything else in the corporate world will be difficult at best. We have to start with the servers, and move those to more open platforms. We need an OSS exchange killer badly, with all the functionality. Not to mention the fact, there is no complete Outlook replacement, commercial or otherwise. Most that are even close require a separate calendaring app.
