There's a problem with running Evolution on all the Windows desktops. Evolution has had its issues throughout the years, up to and including the current 2.6.3 version, with the Exchange Connector crashing when you have automatic-recipient-lookups turned on. That will not win over any Windows converts; the Exchange Connector clearly needs some serious stability work first. I've run it on Ubuntu Hoary and Dapper, as well as several recent SuSE releases, and this issue has been an issue for a long time. Yes, I filed a bug report.
I've found two versions that seem to work well: RHEL/CentOS's Evolution 2.0.2, and Debian Sarge's Evolution 2.0.4. These two versions' Exchange Connectors haven't yet crashed on me.
Please, Novell, make the Exchange Connector rock-solid! Immediately following that, then the suggestion of a Win32 version is actually a good idea. You can directly help break the MS dependence by doing these two things.
